Can I ask what you mean by depth of charge? Do you mean charging small amounts?

So invested in the cheap dongle and plugged it in. Car saying 88.1% for SoC and 100% for SoH. Car itself is charged to 93% as I brought it to 100% yesterday for the first time in 4 weeks to do the balancing. Just under 7,400 miles on the clock, car us July 2023, so I think that's all good...

Actually, the warning said proceed with caution. It did not say to stop driving.

Just to come back to this. When I had to move the car, after the vacuum pump was gone, I did manually push the brake pedal and gave it everything I had. To put that in context, I'm a 6 1, 17 stone lad and I was not pushing it lightly. The car was extremely difficult to stop - and essentially it...

Thanks. Must get hold of that so - although hopefully it won't upset me in case the SoH is poor. Does it matter which dongle?

How does one run that report?

Probably expect to drive an average of 60 or so miles a day. Had planned nightly charge then to bring it back to the 80%....

Hmmmm. Didn't know that. I have access to cheap electricity rates for a 4 hour window each night so had hoped to charge it every night in that window - with the potential to get up to 24/26kw in during the 4 hours. Doing 60% once every 3 nights will change my running costs and not in a good...

What is the optimum way to charge if you use circa 20% of battery most days? I.e. not a huge use?

I have a July 2023 ZS LR Trophy Connect from Northern Ireland and it has the panoramic glass roof etc

We had this on our car - on day 5 after getting it. Car was 6 months old. It was the vacuum pump on the brake system that was gone and had to be replaced. The car pinged up loads of errors when turned on and ended with the Vehicle Control Fault one. I had a separate post on it when it happened 2...

Nothing wrong with it! But some cars have a little location where you pop it.

Apologies if this is a stupid question....but is there a prescribed location for the key when you're driving the car, or do people just throw it in the cup holder or under the infotainment area? Just wondering in case I am missing something obvious! Thanks

Hadn't realised that! Thanks for the heads up!

Actually that's interesting. I had to move the car and I tried to apply the parking brake when I was at about 5mph - and it actually disengaged everytime I pulled it
