Do you have 'Optimised Battery Use' enabled? This helps maintain the 12V by topping up from HV battery when required.

This started out as a problem with US built cars with US built batteries. Obviously investigations have shown up issues elsewhere in the supply chain to affect european and chinese models. I expect the big number is the worldwide number while the smaller numbers will be regional / national figures.

My wife had a cold run to the borders yesterday, was getting about 3.6m/kWh. As we've only had the car in good weather so far it's quite the hit from the 4.2 we've been getting. Still the previous ID.4 would have been around 3.4 m/kWh in similar conditions.....

I haven't been updating this thread as so many hubs are opening weekly. A good example is that Tesla open to all (OTA) supercharger sites now number 150. Up 25% on a year ago.

I do like that colour. One of my neighbours has it.

Yes, which is a backward step from the summer price of 59p for all (with a further discount for Electroverse users).

Where? 😊

Now I have a heat pump at home I'm seriously considering moving to Eon, this may clinch it.

Indeed. Glad you got some help.

Good luck. Please let us know how you get on.

MEB cars have a separate battery heating/cooling loop but share the car's aircon unit for cooling. There's a three port valve that controls flow to the coolant loops.

That's rather poor given VAG know its a design tolerance issue.

Sounds very much like the drive shaft splines need to be re-glued. (Yes! Glued!) I've had MEB cars for over 5 years and this issue has been raised a number of times on various forums. There is a clicking sound from the rear when moving off (forward or reverse) and when going over to full re-gen. The splines on the drive shafts have movement caused by the adhesive used on them failing. All cases I've heard about have been covered by warranty or extended warranty. Worth a Google.

The heat pump is £1150 or thereabouts for a small increase in overall efficiency. Maybe 10-15 miles extra range in winter? £1000 buys a hell of a lot of electricity, so the heat pump is poor value.

Sorry I meant to reply to this earlier.... If your distribution board is full there are alternatives. For instance my supply is split after the meter via a Henly block with one set of tails going to the board and another to a weatherproof mini fuse box to feed my charger. All extra wiring is in the existing meter cupboard. There are ways and means.
