Re: ID.4 Service Intervals

Had my 1st Ed 6 months now, 4,000 miles and the car says 539 days to Service! I'll do it at 2 years. It'll need an MOT at 3 years of course.

Re: Loss of displayed battery range

Many of the car's bits such as wipers, fans, headlights etc do run on a separate 12v system like a conventional car. The 12v does still need to be charged by the car on the move - I assume there's an indirect impact on the main battery if this is dynamically adjusted based on use of the 12v system.

Re: ID.4 Service Intervals

Stop thinking 'Car Service' in the traditional, ICE sense. There are very few things need 'servicing', mainly brakes and tyres over several years providing you can check and top-up your fluids - Even brakes last longer due to regen. The car will tell you when it needs 'a check-up' based on mileage/t...

Re: EV Charging

1. Order a homecharger if possible. For most of my use apart from long business trips (>200 miles) this does the job and is the most convenient at the cheapest rate and should pay for itself within a year. I have Economy 7 meter with an Ohme I can reliably set to charge at 8p/kWh. 2. Most services s...

(interim) update (not 2.3) just received, Inc We Charge app for car

A few days ago I received in car notification of an update which I installed in a few minutes. This is not the much awaited 2.3 update which should be with us imminently, but the text suggests it may be necessary to prepare the system to support the big 2.3 update. It includes a new app for the info...
