Nearly two weeks in and all good so far except the inability to accept timed charges and solar PV excess via the Zappi Eco+ mode. Hopefully this gets fixed with the rumoured imminent update. Meanwhile, a work-around is to use the Zappi Eco mode (which uses any solar surplus made up to a minimum of 1.4kW from the grid so providing a continuous trickle charge to stop the car shutting down) pending a timed boost at night rate. It arrived with 85% charge and 120 miles in the tank, I have since added 6kWh off the PV and still have over 80 miles showing. Mostly local journeys at 50 mph max. I will update after a few motorway trips! As you may have read on another thread, I was pleasantly surprised by £200 insurance (age 59, business use, full discount, no points, Oxfordshire). I took a 5 yr service plan at around £1000 vs prices quoted as follows: yr 1 £120, yr 2 £220, yr 3 £120, yr 4 £395 and yr 5 £120. Similar total but prices locked in and refundable if I sell the car before then. Yr 4 includes a load of fluid changes. Watch this space.
 
I received an email from the dealer today saying the fix for deferred charging is now available which should hopefully allow timed boosts overnight as well as charges from surplus PV output as and when available....
