Thank you for the replies... Yes I don't know why they did not charge it at the dealership they had plenty of time... However, I don't think they know much about this model. My training was just set it to Hybrid and drive......the car willdo the rest!. I will have a look to see if I can find another mode.....Have not seen it and nothing in the manual.

I have just bought a 1.4 Octavia Hybrid.. So have not had a chance to drive a distance to check the charging of the high powered battery with the petrol engine... I did picked up the car, and the battery was zero in red....Travelled the 69 miles to home and it had not charged virtually any % ....I can not find anything on the manual re how long it will take to charge while driving... So I am not sure if there is something I have to set?....All I have in the info net is ELEC or HYBRID choice.....My understanding is the car on Hybrid will use elec first then charge from brakes/engine.....But so far other than a quick boost showing in the dash seems its not charging....Anyone know if there is some other switch or Elec switch I don't know about....? I get 21 miles on the battery @99% house charge.

Tomorrow it will be a week since I ordered the car.......I think? I will give them till tomorrow to contact me as the car could arrive within a week from the port.. I also see that the Gap insurance they asked me to sign was well overpriced.... Thanks for the advice

It was Friday afternoon when I paid a deposit...It was Sat afternoon when the email came in with several documents allwanting extra insurance on wheels, paintwork and Gap.... I thought it was just an invoice as I was expecting to just sign..... with NO Discussion or info at anytime from the dealer other than sign the paperwork. I fell out with them on Monday and have not heard from them at this time/ since....Even though the saleman boss was going to phone me. Still waiting..... and I am not going to phone them...Do they want a sale or not? So they have my deposit but I have no idea if I have the car or not ordered..... .. Now that is poor form I think ?

I don't know to be honest... It looks like it aswas taken aback at these extras which they just expected me to sign.....I thought I was just getting the order invoice, so I felt a bit misled and annoyed. Yes thank you I will look at this

Hi Roottoot.. No, actually its not John Clark Aberdeen as I won't deal with them as they have scammed me before and even the sales guy hung up on me last week as he did not have a demo Hybrid electric... I bought my last car a Karoq from Car Wow in England as will not use John Clark Aberdeen... .. So went back to Car Wow thus they gave me John Clark Dundee , so I thought I would give them a try........?mmmmmm Thank you guys for all your helpful advice I appreciate it...

I am in the process of buying a Octavia Hybrid... I must say that I was taken aback at the documents sent to me electronically to sign as if taken for granted. They want me to sign for 500 pounds worth of Gap insurance. Also hitting me with £80 customer admin fee and £250 worth of lifetime Auto glime polish? They can take a hike at the Gap insurance but what do you think about the others....I just felt a bit let down that a dealer would expect me to sign this without discussion.. I would appreciate your views. al
