Re: Grunting noise in neutral
Every 20 to 30 seconds: Could it be the air con? Try turning the air con off, see if the noise stops.

Re: Next software update 3.2 to 3.4!
[...] So input the car's vin number into a VW recall/ service thing. […] May I ask, what VW recall/service thing is that? My car is registered in the UK, but in the past I successfully used the following VW Australia (!) checker tool that knows about UK VIN numbers as well: https://www.volkswagen.c...

Re: Still disappointed with charging speed
[...] 50kw would be low on a 150kw charger if the car was in the right conditions for DC charging. And also if the DC charger was in the right conditions, such not sharing a limited grid connection with other chargers, or even with local shops! I once charged at a “150kW” InstaVolt charger in a ret...

Re: If you could have ONE feature
My one feature would be a physical button for Auto Hold. I like having Auto Hold turned on while driving, but I must turn it off when reversing to park (parallel parking). If I forget to turn it off before I start to reverse, then the infotainment screen is occupied by the rear camera video and it's...

Re: We Charge Registration Problems
[...] It’s hard to understand why they can’t make a change to their own database. We’ll never know for sure, but VW might be trying to do their bit to reduce Germany's all time high labour shortage . If you are only able to enter a German billing address, but your current billing address is in the ...

Re: Intelligent Octopus - Integration EV vs Charger
I've got a Wallbox Pulsar Plus which seems to be supported according to the app. Is the Wallbox Pulsar Plus really “supported” (as in remotely controlled like an Ohme charger), or merely listed in a long list of chargers to choose from? In the eligibility web form , if I choose the car as the Abart...

I can tell you what I think did the trick for me after several unsuccessful test charge attempts, but it’s probably not great advice — you decide. As I understand it and as I remember it, the Intelligent Oct...

Re: OVO Charge Anytime
Am I missing something? Last month I was looking at both OVO Charge Anytime (OCA) and Intelligent Octopus (IO) to decide which one to switch to — and I ended up choosing the latter. My understanding of OCA is that it is really “ Plug-in Anytime”, not really “ Charge Anytime”, and that both OCA and I...

Re: Wecharge plug and charge

Thanks! From what you and others have reported, I now believe that th...

Re: Wecharge plug and charge
I still think the sequence in which you do things is important. For example - when did you start your Elli (we-charge) contract or which P&C (Elli or Electroverse) did you install first? Good point but I don’t think it will be the solution. Last week I had only the We Charge Free contract (last...

Re: Certificates
Installing and uninstalling certificates is a non-intuitive and heavy-handed way of making a choice between the available and functional ways of offering payment. Hear, hear! Other than asking the user to choose which certificate to use every time that the car is plugged in to charge, another commo...

Re: Wecharge plug and charge
Is it simply a matter of reselecting the free plan and the P+C is there, do you think. Or if i try that, does it all go horribly wrong? Any ideas? I guess this would work, however you might end up with higher charging prices — compare the We Charge Free charging prices of your current contract (sho...
