  1. General Charging Discussion
    Just saw this article on BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58011014 when things get too smart, there’s someone smarter to exploit it. Maybe it’s better/safer to go for a less smart charger? Nevertheless, make sure you keep it updated with latest firmware etc!
  2. Volkswagen e-Golf
    Hi, has anyone experienced a lockout from a 2018 eGolf? Just happened to me yesterday after driving it the night before and leaving it on my driveway (not charging). I've tried two key fobs and neither one can get the car to unlock or even get the lights flashing on pressing buttons. Can't get...

    Just looked out my window and saw 4 local 'nice guys ' having a good look at my car on charge. I could be being overly suspicious and they could have been looking at the strange ev. But as i went outside they dissappeard fast. My charge point can be clearly seen from my gate (picture taken...
  7. General EV Discussion
    Hi, Looking for some advice, I've got an i3 on order (only 1 month to delivery) and I'm hearing more and more houses being broken into to steal the keys to then take the cars. Normal precautions don't apply in these situations, (disk lock, metal posts etc) I'd rather put the scum bag off all...
