Re: Intermittent Scheduled Charging Fault

I’ve been looking into a similar charging problem to the OP. I use an Easee Charger. Check the supply voltage to your property. I understand that both the ID3 and my Easee Charger will both be unhappy at certain over-voltage conditions. The ID3 doesn’t like 247v and reduces charging to 1kW. The Eas...

Re: ID3 here we come!

I reckon in a regular car (petrol or diesel) I could've battered up the road a good bit quicker, used plenty fuel and would've been home by 18:00.

Re: Osprey price increase

Possibly off topic but..... I read somewhere recently that Scotland produces a mere 13% of its electricity from fossil fuels. Where is the justification for putting up prices in such a wholesale manner? Not wishing to get too political but it looks to me like the current government seem intent on pu...

Re: ID3 here we come!

SO, departed Bradford on Sunday 11am with a 100% charge. Learning the car on the way up the A65 towards Kendal. Nice easy pace, mixed traffic, using the auto driving functions a bit. Smooth, quiet, so easy to drive. Motorway driving was so easy, and the Heads-Up Display with the Augmented Reality is...

Re: Long distance trip

Thanks for posting. Very informative and reassuring. I have the pleasure of driving from Bradford to Inverness next weekend, when I pick up my ID3 and head home. The Zap-map App looks to be really informative and hopefully accurate! I've planned my journey stops already and hope to use the App durin...

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Thanks to this forum, my dealer is now aware of this and I’ve asked him to get it sorted before I take delivery of the car. Fingers crossed 🤞

Re: ID3 here we come!

Hopefully pick up the car fully charged and head straight for the M62 then M6 north! I'm amazed at how well sorted the Zap-map App is. Makes the journey planning so easy.

ID3 here we come!

Looking forward to collecting my “new to me” ID3 Max from JCT600 in a few weeks time. Already planned how to get from Bradford to Inverness (home) using Zap-Map. A whole new world!!!
