Pre heating when not charging reduces the range and you don’t need to charge every night unless you do big miles every day, most people only need to charge a couple of times a week

It’s a great idea to preheat while charging but unless you use the charge from 80%-20% every day what do you do the rest of the time?

It will be no problem, you should have some to spare.
As long as you don’t drive like Lewis Versteppen or Max Hamilton

Hi All This is essentially a message to VW corporate from whom I would like an answer. It would also be interesting to hear from forum members about their experience on this question. I took delivery of my Brand new unused ID3 ProPerformance Family EV on 2nd November. When I collected the car the i...

I used granny charger from Screwfix no issues but now my local Tesco has free podpoints 7kw which are mostly available.so I used them since there are literally 10min walk away and I park there for 5 to 6 hours no parking restrictions. So free electricity and use it once a week and covers my mileage...

Hi everyone, Has anyone experienced heavy condensation on their windows. This morning (4:30) I had to have the blowers on full and a/c on for 10 minutes and it still wasn’t clear in fact the corner on driver’s side didn’t clear for my 20 mile journey. And of course my available range was hit heavy. ...

I know you are an intelligent and informed person so there’s no need to make derogatory comments about others. My comment wasn't aimed at anybody in particular, I have a pet peeve for the use of free public chargers as if they were personal property. Ok no problem, I’ve never met anyone who feels a...

Freeloader: a person who takes advantage of others' generosity without giving anything in return. Sponger: a person who lives at others' expense. What is a person who uses free Tesco charging? Clearly, not a freeloader. If they shop at Tesco then they are not a sponger. If they're in Tesco while th...

I suppose if you have a tesco near you, and have the working time during the day to make sure it doesn't go over the car park time limit, you could make a case for supermarket charging, but seems a big hassle to me for a small saving The free chargers at Tesco are for customers while they're being ...

Hi monkeyhanger It was good to read about your journey and power usage and the end of the day it’s all about the enjoyment of the journey, since I got my ID3 I’ve loved driving it and even on the unexpected long journeys, I’m normally solo but when I’ve had passengers they have all enjoyed the ride....

I don’t tend to do 70 for long periods and my speed is continually changing so average speed will be lower than 70, and in an EV the economy is better in heavier traffic which I love when I’m surrounded by ice cars guzzling fuel and getting no where lol Same here with the brakes I had a fiat tipo 1....

I had to do the same journey with and without passengers in September when it was warmer and was getting about 4.2 with not much use of the ventilation system. My since start average for the last 3000 miles is 4.3 and the previous 5000 miles 4.5, I’ve had the car since May. I’ve been driving for a l...

I’ve just done a 400 mile round trip with 2 passengers on Friday temp around 10’ with heaters on most of the time and got 3.9 kWh If that was all doing 70mph on the motorway then that's exceptional, if mixed diving doing 40-60mph it's roughly as per my expectations. Could you tell us roughly how yo...

I’ve just done a 400 mile round trip with 2 passengers on Friday temp around 10’ with heaters on most of the time and got 3.9 kWh Really surprised at these disparities. I have done 14 miles in city traffic last night with minimal heating and two adult passengers and got 3.1 m/kWh at 13 degrees. My ...

“ Appreciate it and will share more once I get the car! Hope you've been enjoying yours :) ” I am definitely enjoying my car I’ve done 8000 miles so far and it’s so relaxing and enjoyable to drive , I did a 185 mile trip got 2.5 hours sleep while it charged and drove back another 185 miles and felt ...

BP, pod point and electric highway ( now gridserve, contactless) plus we charge in (emergency )
I find others too pricey
But it depends on your personal circumstances and routes you need to take

Hi
Thanks that’s a really good review , looking forward to hearing more from you.
I’m usually a solo driver but have had to do a few long trips with passengers and overall they were comfortable only niggle from them was being cold in the rear.

Enjoy your new car, looking forward to hearing from you and your views.
As said before it’s the best compromise of all the features you need making a really nice car to drive.
