I may be embracing the Orange a little much but now I have a matching wireless charger lol

I have one of these which so far seems to be working well. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008918997127.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.55841802iyp7X6

This is very true. It took me a little while to get used to the brightness and people pointing. That said I live in a London street with very careless drivers. Not tempting fate I think the brightness of this car means people tend to notice and avoid hitting it. But then again I was in a car...

Saw my twin in Harringay Sainsbury’s today.

I am going to try it out in the car later.

Mines a late 2023 build LR Orange and Orange roof.

Sadly in my area they are terrible. We have a street WhatsApp group and half the time it’s people asking if someone got their package. I did manage to find mine but they had not bothered ringing the doorbell and let themselves in. Went up to the top floor and just left it in the public walk...

Sounds good. Mine is at the Ervi depot so who knows if I will ever see it. lol My neighbour may soon get a new toy they didn't order.

Have to see whose arrives first lol

Well I went ahead and ordered one from AliExpress. At £10 figured I'd give it another go.

lol yeah that would be a long drive to charge up ha ha 🤣 Thank you for checking though.

I don’t have the EV one handy but this is a photo through the dongle. Says search for petrol station. When connected via cable it says charging stations. There are a few other differences when it knows the car is an EV via the cable.

I may have caused confusion. There is no setting to add car in Apple map. I use this as well. When connecting the phone via the cable the phone knows automatically it is connected to an EV and shows ev charging options. If it was connected to a petrol car it would know this and show petrol...

Definitely a CarPlay signal thing. Same phone and car. If I use cable it works as expected if I use the dongle it doesn’t. I did speak to CarKit and they said not enough people had complained about it so no rush to fix. :-(

Hey, That’s very cute! Quick question—does this dongle let the car tell Apple CarPlay that it’s an EV? It might seem like a small thing, but when CarPlay recognises the car as an EV using a cabled connection, it shows local EV chargers on the map and even asks if you want to search for one...
