Yes it's OK to leave the car on, in neutral and handbrake off.

No need to worry about congestion charge. You don't need to go through it. Word of warning, don't attempt to charge at BPpulse site in OP, its £40 to park!

You must register your vehicle, £10, for a yearly exemption to the congestion charge. The ulez does not need any fee, the cameras will work it out. As the congestion charge area is quite small and covers only the central area, You can avoid going there quite easily. Indeed its quite hard to hit...

If I use the granny charger I place it and the 13amp socket of the extension lead under the car. The socket is in a chunky box which raises off the ground about an inch and of course its also IP65 rated.

According to Dr Euan McTurk on YouTube (PlugLifeTelevision channel - he is a battery specialist, daily charging at 7kw upto 100% has no effect on a battery. Its leaving it sitting around fully charged thats causes the problem. In fact he states a car should be fully charged regularly to balance...

Unless you go inside the central London Congestion charge zone, the car is exempt from all emission charges because you have no emissions!

If you have been through all the settings menu I suggest you go back to dealer and get them to have a look. It may be a front camera issue. Has the windscreen been replaced? If so the camera needs to be recalibrated.

I had the same problem and found out here that pressing the unlock button a few times will release the cable from the car, but be quick, I have contacted Podpoint and asked that they add a 'STOPCHARGE' button on the app as they do with the rapid chargers. It seems daft that both the car and and...

If you are still looking for something to do, have a look at Plug Life Television on You Tube. Dr Euan McTurk knows pretty much all there is to know about EV batteries and explains it very carefully for stupid people like me.

East London to Manchester, about 250 miles each way. 2 stops going up with some atrocious weather, but one coming back when warm and dry. I was surprised how much difference it made. I taught me about having a one or two stop strategy, (bit like a grand prix). Another trip to Somerset with...

Its certainly not good practice to have a cable wound up in any way whilst using it. It will build up heat and may damage the insulation causing it to short out or cause a fire . This is particularly due to the extended times that it is use whilst charging. Just leave it unwound on the floor...

I also rated 'good.' I can't charge at home and so rely on the Pulse 7kw chargers that are sprinkled around locally. For most of last year I had no problems at all. Then as they rebranded to BPPulse their systems went haywire. My RFID card was refused and the app would start a charge but not...

Done, but this should be posted or linked to on the model specific threads so that everyone sees it.
