Re: Electric charging points will legally need to be installed in all new homes and offices from 2030

Re: Wireless charging for Smartphone

@AndyF Mine's working fine in the left hand front charger using the two items above. I've now stuck the Qi pad down as I noticed it slid down to the bottom and my phone then wasn't in the right position against the pad to charge. Been perfect since.

Re: Preserving power while sitting in parked car question

Possibly use the start / stop button on the steering column?
Haven't got mine yet so can't say for definite.

Re: Wireless charging for Smartphone

Hi Sandie,
No. The UK ID4 1st edition does not have the built-in wireless Qi charging pad. The later models seem to have it and to me personally seems a bit of a cheap move not including it on the 1st Edition especially as the car has wireless Carplay and Android Auto. ID3 was the same.
