The only time I can see battery health being an issue is if you come to sell the car privately. The first question asked will be "what state is the battery in?". When my son bought his first car, a 9 year old Nissan LEAF, the first thing I did was plug in an OBD dongle and check the battery...

And on another of his videos it took 5 minutes. Still easier than having to get out of the car in the snow and rain and plug in.

Welcome to the forum.

I still think NIO have a good system where they swap the battery. Each pack can be slow charged whilst it's in the station, and instead of paying for kWh's through a CCS, you pay for the charge in the battery.

If you do a lot of road trips, 800 Volt architecture for the charging speed. If customer service is important, then I would go for Hyundai or Kia. My personal choice would be the Ioniq 5. I've not heard a bad word said about them. I had a gen1 Kona before the ZS, but unfortunately it had a...

Alternatively, just wrap the key in kitchen foil. (Don't forget to wrap the spare as well)

Phew! That's a relief. I can now relax and carry on enjoying the savings (£896.65 since September 2024) :D

A shame to drink it really.

When the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for petroleum reaches 14.7 to 1, the vapour becomes explosive, just as it is supposed to in the engine. In a fuel tank, it's bad news for the car.:)

Not true. Depends on speed and level of regen set.

It does work on the windscreen except in bright sunlight, so the reflector is better. You could still make a reflector out of a CD case though.

Hi Andrew. The phone stopped working so I got me one of these; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335463751988?chn=ps&_ul=GB&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&var=544893295169&google_free_listing_action=view_item&gRefinements=SORT_BY:Price:+low+to+high Works really well.
