What we need is better value for mass adoption of EV s

This is the first time I’ve seen what other chargers you can use, is there a full list anywhere?

This has been covered in previous posts about a month ago.
VW mechanics must be driving around in Rollers and wearing Rollex judging by their hourly rate.
You need to check an independent service provider on line, you would get a service for £100-£120.
As said it 2years unlimited

The cabin yes, you can do it through the app.
The battery will get a little heat while charging so will get up to temperature quicker when driving

That was for a “full service “ the small one was cheaper.
What got me was that the VW service manager still thought that the £338 plan was a good price! So even at £150 I can’t see people using VW to service their cars

Hi all
Just done a quick search and found a company called servicing stop. I put my reg in and it came up with a full service price of £152.80.
Obviously I would probably ring them to confirm they know it’s an EV , but what a difference to VW!!!!
Was thinking of booking it in for next year

Hi all Just an update. I sent an email to my dealer and he replied with a breakdown Pollen filter 64.05 Brake fluid 59.54 Inspection service 1.4 hours 237.31 Mot 54.85 Total with vat is 415.75 So he is saying it’s a 77.65 saving! Does anyone think that 237.31 for less than an hour and half work is e...

Hi all I’ve had an e-mail from my dealer to offer a service and mot for £338.10. Suggesting that it will be more expensive in a year ( for the first service) and two years for the mot. This sounds expensive to me? My personal thought would be that it should be a maximum of £250. What are your though...

You could try Baldock services they have ionity and gridserve and good facilities
If gridserve is available use it, it’s cheaper

I had a car pull out across the road from a junction a couple of days ago, I was doing 35 (40 limit) and parallel with the junction. Stopped no problem

It was the supplied Bridgestone tyres, first one was back right second back left. I just got them to fit a budget this time, I’ve done 13000 miles so in 7-10 k I will replace all four with Avons

Hi all, Just thought I would report, I’ve had my second puncture in 10 months this week. The first I could pump up and get to a tyre place for a repair no problems since. The second this week is a different story it went down as I got to work so I thought ok I will pump it up and sort it after work ...

P.s. almost 6 months in to ownership and still love the car. It might be the base spec, but it has everything that I need, most of the bits I might want, and it's a really nice place to be. Plus, it's the first car that I bought that has appreciated in value, which takes the sting out of such a big...

Hi
I’ve not done that route but have crossed that way on the way to March.
I found that Baldock services are good with an ionity and gridserve chargers both chargers are over the ID3 max capacity. And the facilities are great.
Hope that helps
David

As I mentioned in my 12000 miles post the ID3 price and size and range and features put it in a league of its own for me.
The ionq5 and ev6 are great cars but for me too big and expensive

When I’m on a long drive if I have to slow down due to speed limits or slower traffic and then come out of the restrictions I will increase speed gradually to be efficient, I’ve noticed the cruise control wants to get to the limit as quick as possible using more power.

Thanks for the review.. I'm in awe of your 4.3 consumption I can't get much beyond 3.1 It was in May to mid September so no need for the climate control also my commute starts early in the morning and I use the shrewton rd not the 303 past Stonehenge so steady driving most of the time. Even today I...

Hi all, Just thought I would give a review of my first 12000 miles in my ID3 Firstly I had been thinking of buying a Bev for about 6 months and was looking at the e-Niro but then I saw the ID3 and it may not be the best car in most areas it does give you a great overall package for the price. The di...

Good luck with the new car, it’s been great reading your posts.
One of the things I like about the ID3 is that it doesn’t look like a normal car like many others
