You found your scenic background then!

Yay! How long did it take in the end? Don't forget pics!

You can only have one user at the moment for the app - you have to use the same username and password on both phones.

Personally I started by working out what charger I wanted, then looked for installers in my area that installed that charger. You'll need to live with the features, functions and aesthetics of the charger for a long time after the installer has faded in your memory! Of particular interest might be whether you have or might in the future have solar panels that you want to do intelligent solar charging with them.

Would you not need to get more than 4.4 miles per kWh to get a range of 340 miles from a 77 kWh usable battery?

That sounds like an easier install - but does it create the same noise in the 12v system that causes issues with the radio etc, or does that avoid the issue?

I'm relatively new to this game, and this was my expectation from the calculators - contrary to my petrol experience where after a few weeks of school runs when I go on a long motorway journey I can often get 50 miles down the road without losing a mile off the estimated range! However, in my short experience, the short stop start local runs leave me with much lower range left on the GuessOMeter than when I get on the open - fast - roads.

Comparison with traffic and weather enabled... as long as you want to leave at half nine on a Friday night in May 🤣

This is with no traffic, so assumes you'll sail through London 🤪 The smoother you drive in traffic the better, as you'd expect. You do recover energy on braking but obviously never as much as you spend accelerating! My range when I've just been to school and back is not nearly as good as when I go on longer journeys. One thing I love about driving my Enyaq is the adaptive cruise control. On motorways and main roads (anywhere that doesn't have chaotic street furniture/cars/pedestrians) it can do the steering, accelerating and braking for me. Much less tiring. Made my crawl around the M25 yesterday much easier! 🤪

Ah, 95 miles of motorway. That makes sense! I should read more carefully! I think a short charge on a high speed charger will see you through. This is an example plan ignoring traffic and weather: In reality you might want to charge a little earlier on the way home, and it might take more than 4 minutes! But it gives you a rough idea.

95 miles makes you a bit closer to London than Bristol doesn't it? If you've got a charger at home so can afford to get home with not much left, you'd probably be able to do that in an 80 without charging depending on the time of the year (air temperature, water on the road etc). Adding a charge would make it comfortable though. If you could do it on the way back you'd not need to stop very long as with a lower state of charge it will charge much faster. But I don't think you'd need to stop for long on the way just to give you enough for a cushion.

Oh no! Such a shame. What's the lead time on the Karoq?

I nearly posted the same... but never quite sure of the etiquette!

Not really in the right thread for this! But... for me, that stick does make things work, as per the manual:

The buttons above change which version of adaptive cruise control are in use, but they only matter if you've enabled it using the stalk on the lower left of the steering wheel (not the indicator stalk). I'm not sure I've found anything that changes by rolling the wheel, but if you click it the stats change between long term, since charge and since start. The buttons below that change the proportion of the dash taken by the ACC display, the central bit, and the stats/nav.

Just noticed the reg on the yak - very good!

Can I check you're not mixing up the following three numbers? 62 kWh - battery capacity 50 kW - maximum battery charging rate 132 kW - engine power

Depends on what your objectives are... From a purely financial point of view, probably not. But from a future of the planet/carbon footprint point of view, absolutely yes. (With the caveat that I recognise one has to have the financial means to make such a choice.) And you might find that driving an electric car is just a really nice experience! Only you can put a price on that!

🤣 I didn't think to look at their profile! Reducing options to concentrate on getting at least something out of the factory. 60 is less popular across Europe (but more in the UK) and therefore they've stopped taking orders it building new ones for now. It'll come back when supply problems ease.

Which country? You can't order a 60 currently in the UK...

I notice the coupé has a Canton sound system option that the regular version does not.

Pre-production marketing slide aside, if you look at the image it does suggest that both phones are at the very least showing their current battery state...

Is that one credit for each of the pictures in your post @chopper85?
