Re: Declining Range

As people are intimating, look at your average miles per kWh this is typically between 3.1 and 4.1 depending on lots of factors including weather, road conditions, driving style, payload weight, and stuff plugged in/turned on. Then you multiple this by either 77 if you charge to 100% for max range; ...

Re: New OTA software due soon? (12 weeks since 0792)

Nope - I spoke to VW about this recently. You dont need the data service for updates, navigation, control of car from the app. Basically the only benefit I could see for the data service was... internet radio or hotspot! WOW two things I really didnt need!

Re: ID4 positives

OK so I came from a mitsubishi outlander PHEV... a little experience with plugin ev. The outlander was an ok workhorse... I averaged around 70mpg... because most local drives were electric, and learned to adjust driving style to maximise the electric. The id4 is a different league... So my friend ha...

Re: 3 weeks in with ID.4

Just as a thought, is the car set to charge to just 80 percent? That is default and the app allows you to increase, default is for best battery management. Anyway I thought I’d ask as I’ve been trying to work out why your range seems so low. My car has done 1215 miles and long term it is doing 3.3 ...

Re: Wiltshire ID.4

agile or go? tbh agile is not the best at the moment... you need to run one of the apps which compares the pricing... for me agile is working out much more expensive than go. Re zappi, I have one too with the solar, you might want to go the the zappi forum with myenergi and get some tips about tweak...

Re: What are people doing with WeCharge subs in UK?

from what I can work out it is more expensive when using non ionity chargers. Ionity is meant to be cheaper but on on the free service. Another forum discussed this and people are recommending... if you use ionity a lot, charge via wecharge on a premium service. WeCharge Go 45p as opposed to 69p but...

Re: 3 weeks in with ID.4

https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/electric/software-and-technology/heat-pump heat pumps are more efficient (when cold) than resistive heaters. This means your range will be extended using a heatpump in the colder weather. Preheating is essential to stop wasting energy getting the car to temperature from ...
