Re: Electric cars now more expensive per mile than diesel

Repfigit's got this. ToU supply/demand variable pricing will evolve (more quickly than we think) to be 'the norm'; it's either that or blackouts. Some market areas - driven by Putin's egotism - are now rapidly expanding their 'renewables' installation plans and capacities, particularly in wind. The ...

Re: Octopus Go and October Price Cap

Phixion; i've just accepted a 12m contract 'renewal', commencing 1 Nov, for 'Go Faster 5 (hr)' at the rates you describe (i.e. 8.25/40.06). So they will be the 'new', post government intervention rates: Octopus are far too on-the-ball to get this wrong -they seem to be leading government strategy, r...

Re: Range reduction and heater use.

this website offers some interesting insights - and summaries in plain language - worth a read imo. If the tech/chemistery stuff is too much, go straight to the 'What can the user do' section at the end of this first article. good luck. https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-lit...

Re: E-boost for ID.3?

if the max speed remains limited to the same value, then bigger brakes are not necessary - the kinetic energy dissipated in stopping is the same. The regen braking would perhaps need management changes, though, in a similar way to power losses & commensurate heat dissipation in the drive motor a...

Re: 'Unable to load connection status'

fwiw, with a car at 3.0.0 the app does not always show appropriate predicted mileage: sometimes it seems to show a 'minimum calculated/worst case' g-o-m attempt, other times it's updated to align with recent actual consumption data. This doesn't seem to be related to phone-car connection, but appear...

Re: Delays + Energy price increases

Repfigit's response is the best and most relevant one in this thread. T-O-U charging will become the norm much quicker than people think, probably trialling large-scale before the end of this year, so using an 'intelligent' (not particularly intelligent, just a programme that fits expected consumpti...

Re: Software vs hardware

I'd be inclined to look at the coding process(es) first - presumably it's an mbs (model-based-system) that has been autocoded directly from the model. The autocoders are rarely (ok, Doubtless the model is very complex, given all the possible permutations of build standard, any chip swaps due to spec...

Re: Replacements for the 'Aero Steels'

motmot; thanks for the comment earlier re cd difference between 'bin-lid' wheels and 'alloys'. fwiw, where does that value come from - it seems a rather large drag (coefficient) difference, i'd have expected 0.002 to 0.003 ?

Re: EV or PHEV short journeys

herrwibi; 'cold-starts' for ev's are not an issue. Yes, they use some battery energy to self-heat up to optimal temperature, so if you do mainly short runs your achieved 'miles-per' will be low compared to longer distance drivers. But use a sensible charging regime and, where feasible to be plugged-...
