  1. Hyundai Kona
    I got my 2021 ultimate EV two days ago. Went to charge my Kona today. First stop was at a level 2 charger. Did that for an hour at 7kw. Then we went to try a Level 3. Found a ChargePoint charger but had issues. They did a reset and still couldn't charge (found out afterwards that charger...
  2. General Volkswagen EV Forum
    Hello, im considering buying a golf GTE 2022. Unfortunately i have no home charger since i live in an apartment. Therefore I have 2 questions; 1. How many 'modes' are there on the golf GTE? I know there is a hybrid and GTE mode but i cant find the correct answer online. 2. How long will my...
  3. Volkswagen ID.4
    Hi guys, first post so go easy :) Up until 4 weeks ago I was charging my PS4 as normal without any issues at 7kwh, however, mid charge it reduced to 3.5kwh. I haven't altered any settings on either the car or the charger (easier one), endured the reduced AC charge option isn't ticked and even...
  4. Kia Soul EV
    Hi, I'm thinking of taking my Soul to the Netherlands on the Hull-Rotterdam ferry. Are chademo chargers easy to find once there or is there a risk that everything fast is Type 2 CCS? Are untethered type 2 chargers common? Any tips very welcome (and not just EV ones - it's 15 years since I last...
  5. Mini
    Hi, I’m new here. I have Mini E and have recently signed up for the (I’m UK based) Octopus Intelligent tarrif to take advantage of cheap rate ev charging they offer. I have set the Octopus app up and it sees the Mini, has done the test charge and I have tried to get it to charge to 100%...
  6. Second Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF40 & LEAF62)
    Looks interesting, and definitely not the usual vapourware type of stuff you see on this topic.
  7. Renault Megane e
    Hello, I DC charge frequently, and sometimes after I finish charging, the message appears "DC Charging Impossible". I just go to the dealer and they do a reset of some sorts, altough it is pretty annoying to have to do this every time. Does anyone here know how I could do that thing myself, like...
  8. Home Charging Installation
    Hi guys, We moved house 25 months ago and BG continue to bill us using estimated bills - have never asked for a metre reading. 4 bed house. The bill is £70 pm for heating and electric and I know it’s simply wrong… needless to say I’m not saying anything to them as back-billing rules are 12...
  9. General Renault Z.E. Discussion
    Hello forum! First post for me :) I've been the owner of a Kangoo Maxi van with 33KWh battery for a couple of weeks now and have a question about the charge speed. According to all information online this car should be capable of 7KW (or 32A) single phase charging, but the most I've seen is...
  10. Corsa-E
    Hi! I'm having issues charging my car (Corsa-e, 2021) at my work charging point. The charging point is a 7kw EVbox. Just wondering if anyone has similar issues and knows a fix? When I plug my car in the dash lights up and "charges" at 0mph. Then after a couple of minutes the charge point will...
  11. Renault ZOE
    You know the text notifications you get when your Zoe is plugged in and starts charging you get a SMS text message "Your car has started charging at xxx on xxx" - well I used to get a sms notification when the car was fully charged when it got to 100% - but I havent had that for ages. The...
  12. Peugeot e208
    I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing the problems that I am having ‘randomly’? About 50% of the time I try a rapid charger e.g Tesla or InstaVolt it times out before starting to charge but charging via AC seems pretty much 100% success rate. It’s a particular pain if m’way driving and...

    About a year ago I created a poll asking the members on this forum what colour cable they would like and from the results of that poll and other market research we committed to a large manufacturing volume of cable in three colours, Black, Blue and Yellow. These colours have been received well...

  15. General EV Discussions
    I'm planning a holiday in Germany/Austria and about half the cheaper-priced rental cars are EVs (mostly Renault Zoes, one Cupra Born, and a Tesla M3 here and there). At home I own a 2022 40kWh Nissan leaf and a 2016 24kWh Nissan leaf so it's safe to say I like the concept of EVs. However I just...

  17. General Charging Discussions
    What is the slowest possible AC or DC charging possible? Is it possible to charge at 100w for example? More specific: What is the lowest wattage (or amps*voltage) that can be communicated to be available from an EV charger to an EV through existing communication protocols used by type 1/2 or...
  18. General Charging Discussions
    I have seen a debate in the industry about what is better - CCS or NACS? While Tesla opening us the NACS for all the EOEMs to opt for, this has been aided by large OEMs like Ford, GM, and many more. I have seen great discussions happening around this forum. Would love to hear views on what is...

    Guys, I’d appreciate some advice on this please. I’ve the hybrid VW Passat GTE. I’ve looked everywhere for guidance on this to no avail. Is it cheaper to charge the battery at home or use the petrol engine to charge the battery when travelling? Cheers. Shaun
  20. Kia Niro
    (I'm going to be really annoying on this forum for the next month or so as I struggle to figure things out, and constantly ask for help... Sorry in advance.) I did my first charge yesterday (PodPoint at Tesco). Was very pleased to have read this forum, but needed to read it again in the car...
