Octavia iV Granny charging - How to get full charge
AndyRat replied to Simon667's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I'm trying to calculate running costs of the iV, easy to work out the cost for petrol against the mileage and although I know how much I pay per KW for electricity, I can't work out how many KW I'm consuming per charge when at home, I have used the chargers at work on 3 occasions, 2 occasions were from 0 to 100% and the charging app indicated 11.5 KW, the other was 0 to 90% using 10.742 KW (90% of 11.5 is 10.35, so there may be a degree of inaccuracy in this!). Based on the two 100% charges that indicates that the battery only takes in 11.5 KW, not the full 13 KW, is this consistent with anyone else's experience? If this is the case, my current calculations against a full charge of 13 KW is probably making it seem more expensive (slightly) to charge than it possibly is? -
Hi, my wife wants a dashcam for her Octavia iV, it has the USB C port by the rear view mirror, can anyone recommend a suitable dashcam that will work from the port please?

The wife finally got her iV a couple of weeks ago, two years wait since ordering it. Really pleased with it so far, just a couple of questions so far Is there anywhere that indicates how many Kwh have been "topped up" during a charging session? When I use the charger at work, the charger and the app give that figure when you stop charging, but I can't find anywhere in the car or the Skoda app when charging at home using the granny charger. When the battery has discharged, it's showing a permanent red light at the bottom of the charge indicator, bottom left of display, is there any way to turn this off? It's not always convenient to charge (especially at the prices at some of the public chargers) so the red light is pretty obtrusive. Thanks in anticipation
