So, it seems the consensus is 'grazing' is totally fine up to 80%, and take it up to 100% to balance every month or so before a journey that will bring it back to 20-80% zone (but don't get overly worried as modern BMS's do a good job anyway) - which is what we do - happy days. My next project...

Thanks. I hadn't seen that until after I'd posted. I'll take a look.

I want to pick the brains of the battery super-nerds out there! I know that having a battery at 100%, driving a few miles, and then topping up again, is basically battery battery! I know that leaving a car for a long period with less than 20% is also not good. However, I also know that battery...

Hello....

Parked EV? - PEV'd? I've always wondered about that - Mobile phone vs large thing that sparks and explodes the stuff!!?? And then some petrol companies have apps that can be scanned at the pump.....

My brother has to be unlooped. Western Power had to dig up the road to do it and they put conduit big enough to fit 3 phase should it ever be needed in the future so that they didn't have to dig again - so worth asking to avoid future disruption.

This could well be selective use of the facts to encourage people to cancel. Perhaps they have learned that 11,000 unfulfilled orders have been made. Maybe they have also found that around 5,000 have since cancelled... That turns into, we've just found out of the 11,000 cars ordered only 6,000...

It's hard not getting annoyed with what I feel is over aggressive and self-centred driving that I see every time I go out. Just wait until they get into EV's with the more responsive acceleration!! Several things that my driving instructor taught me when I first learned 20 odd years ago but...

Just reread the report - another car was involved, so it looks like this was the end result of another incident, so probably not an accelerator issue in the one.

BBC News - Sandicliffe showroom damaged as car smashes into building It would seem the driver wasn't badly hurt and, if they read this forum- I hope you are well. I can't tell what the car model was, or if it was an EV, but it looks like it might be the problem of accelerator instead of brake...

If you could also share the weight of your right foot for each journey, that would be useful ;)

Yes, but not at the same time - more here - MG ismart app - unable to register

No, the granny was only pulling 2.2 - I meant that the onboard charger, with a 'proper' chargepoint could only do 3.3 - so not a huge uplift - which was a main contributor to my decision to not bother installing a wallbox. When the battery is only 24kwh it only took 10h to fully charge anyway -...

I did this the whole time I owned a Leaf (the most it could charge at was 3.3Kw, so it wasn't that much slower on the granny) - No major issues except for when I used a double socket and boiled a kettle on the other side.... Melting plastic..... not good!! :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:

So, what happens if you sign up for the cheapest 'subscription' but then cancel after a month? Does the prepaid amount still carry forward?

Yeah, it was quite refreshing to find that one app does it all here! Portugal has some super simple ideas in some areas. The pricing model, on the other hand, seems super frustrating. My experience in the UK was it was impossible to know how fast a charger would actually go and it depended on a...

I can throw in (limited) experience from Portugal. I've not used the Miio app in Portugal yet (need the car first!) but basically Portugal seems to be set up so that you can use just one operator. This seems to be any of the electricity providers or the Miio app. The charging structure seems be...
