Re: How common are these faults?

My car's software is 0564.

I have the MPH/KPH problem but none of the others on your list. It's a real pain in the neck, it affects several functions including the efficiency/'fuel consumption' readout.
I have seen some other glitches, can't remember all of them, each only happened once.

Re: Your previous cars...

@scott28tt Like you my first Passat was my first brand new car. I had it a year and then lost my job, and wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep up the payments on it, so disposed of it. I regret that decision, actually I would have been able to keep up the payments. My second Passat was petrol and salo...

Re: Osprey chargers

I charged my car at an Osprey charger two days ago - the first time I'd charged the car - and it worked fine using my We Charge card. But My We Connect ID app is saying there are no charging sessions recorded...

Re: What’s Up with the charging speeds ?

As I understand it, there are a number of factors that influence charging speed. One is how many other vehicles are charging at the same location. Some locations have load sharing which reduces the power as necessary to avoid overloading the supply. Another is the ambient temperature. Another is the...

Re: Viability of Road Trips in EVs?

On a road trip, how long are you in the habit of driving before stopping for a break? I certainly don't drive 200 miles without a break. It's just a matter of synchronising your own comfort breaks with charging the car. If the car takes 3/4 hour to recharge to 80%, that's about the right time for a ...

Re: Home charger now installed

How have you been getting on with your new Zappi? I have one on order, but I'm hearing reports that the ID.3 doesn't work well with it - if charging stops, the car goes to sleep, and then won't wake up to resume charging. So the Eco+ function of the Zappi isn't any good with it. Is that your experie...

Re: Osprey chargers

There's one in my local Marston's pub car park so I tried it yesterday. 50kW charge, nice new chargepoint, deserted car park. Used my We Charge card, everything worked brilliantly. It was the first public chargepoint I've used so I was much encouraged.
