    Hi There We will receive our new fiat 500e icon 2 months ahead of schedule, so I'm not very prepared. Will the car come with a charging cable? Do I need a home EV charger or can it be plugged into an ordinary house socket? If I do get an EV charger, which one should I get, there are so many...

    Has anyone else noticed that their Model 3 goes offline after completing a charge at home? Usually, within minutes of the charge finishing, the car goes to sleep, but lately mine finishes the charge and then goes offline, even though it has full wifi and mobile phone reception. This means...

  14. General Charging Discussions
    Has anybody used this? It purports to shift energy away from peak times. Unlike Jedlix it supports the Zoe. I registered my car and then I unregistered it as I'm not sure I trust it (it isn't clear when it'll charge and has two controls for Equivents and the tariff). It's also supposed to...

    Hi, Do you guys think that a Tesla Wall Charger Gen 3 would be a good choice for home charging for my R90 22kWh Zoe? I'm tempted as I found a few good deals. Is there any advice against it? I would use it at 11kW (3x16A). Thanks in advance!

    Hi everyone, I am using a Project EV Charger which is OCPP enabled. I noticed that when the charger goes to SuspendedEV state, it does not take into account if I have set pre-heating or not. Does any face similar issues? Any help will be appreciated.
