Lidl is easy to use with the Qr code. ABRP will show faster chargers near your route. Chargemap likewise, plus their card is a usual backup card. Enjoy your trip Btw there is a Critair system in France (similar to Ulez) that is being implemented in large cities, tho I don't know what happens...

Just picked up this thread, and glad you are driving again. I live in France, and have used a timer on my dedicated 16amp garage socket to get the off-peak benefit, for more than 2 years now. It works well with the granny fed under the garage door and hung outside ready for use. Btw my two...

Looking at Chargemap, plenty of 40kwh around. Link to Tesla from Chargemap cards for non-tesla cars is easy

I have an Izivia RFID, which is managed by EDF (and also a Mobive card which shares Izivia's billing system). Does this web site, which you quote, mention using these RFID cards?

As has been said by other french residents, it all depends what you intend to do. I recommend. ABRP as a planning tool anyway, and Chargemap as well. Google maps is much improved and tells you where chargers are en route. If you are on a motorway dash then fast chargers are available at every...

I live in France, ZS v1, low usage 17k km in 19 months. I plug into ordinary wall socket with cable coming out under the garage door. However I take advantage of off peak charges by plugging into a socket which works on a timer. (Konyks is the make but lots of others available from Amazon etc...

Living in France with temp hovering around 32-36C, have noticed a fan coming on from time to time. Stops when car turned off.

Just to say that Crit'air is only for certain big cities. As a French resident , I haven't needed one so far!

Use ABRP with a filter for fast charging (say 40+kWh) to plan your voyage, so that way you are using the fast charger off your camp site together with the cable off the charger. That way your recharge will be fast and if you have a chargemap RFID, even easier. Have a good trip

Sorry - RIB is French term for IBAN or bank account details

From 1/7/22 there will be a series of 50kwh and more chargers installed round France, with at least 6 chargers per site. It is my understanding that they are cheaper than the autoroute ones. If you use the Izivia app then you can see them. Btw, as a regular local user of this app, I have started...

Living in France, I can only repeat from earlier entries. Is speed of journey more important than enjoying Route National and the range of views. (Note that speed limits vary from department to department at 80 or 90 kph). Is cost an important issue within speed, so that you are prepared to...

Nice trip. As a French resident, I tend not to use autoroute chargers, but go for chargers just by a junction, which tend to be cheaper, (and a bit slower). I use Izivia (EDF's own) and Mobive (Nouvel Aquitaine) rfids , using Abrp to find and filter out the slower chargers, and when not in a...

Barrie - here is the full battery range 371km in E, 336 in N and 320 in S . Due to go to garage later in month as some idiot broke my wing mirror, and also to discuss lack of kers and braking on a curve ( both while using ACC)

Barrie, I have never been able to achieve the range indicated. I cannot explain why , when driving out of our village at 30kph, I lose 3 km of range every time . I do a regular 80km round trip , including a steep dip and climb, but with the rest virtually flat, that loses 130km with an average...

In reply to your queries re 300+km, my car ( currently on charge with granny ) is at 92% showing 302km in Normal and 336 km in Eco. The voltage is 442V at the moment. For completeness, it is a MK1 LHD European, and the 3rd photo shows SW version. My garage in Cognac are not MG experts...

I have the original model, and generally charge at home. Typical range is 330km at the point of full charge ! If you look at the battery voltage at full charge, it should show about 445V. If it is less, then you need to equibralise. Any recharge other than at home will adversely affect voltage...

Just thought I would post (paraphrased) some of the 'interesting' messages that I have received on the little screen. 1. Rgen not available , use brakes. Occurs when battery is 99% full and doesn't need top up 2. Front camera can't see. It's misted up - my car stored outside and got v cold...

As a French resident , I use abrp, chargemap, izivia, sygic and chargeprice to find chargers ( bornes). It then depends if you want your hols trip to be slower and cheaper or faster and dearer. As with ICE, the motorway services (Ionity) are v expensive. With good pre-plan, you can find chargers...

I believe that it was 'claimed' on a YouTube video, but I can't recall which - sorry
