Re posts above, I drove up a long steep hill with no battery and it wasn't nice, it sounded like a a very small cc trying to do it ... What I haven't understood is that with a 2000cc engine, why is it so noisy on ice alone (on a hill) . Can anyone explain this, I might be misunderstanding how it...

I may have missed the answer to this already, but my question is, Does driving in b5 make driving less efficient? - if in b5 are you accelerating against friction, if that's the term? A colleague drives in b5 to get most from regen, but I've been driving in b0 and using paddles as need be, on...

Ok thanks, so no need to worry. I half mentioned this to the salesman as I got out of the car on pick up and he half said something about needing to turn the wheel more ... I'll let him know.

Maybe this is a mechanical question rather than technical, but having just taken delivery, and so far so good ... But I haven't been able to get the steering wheel to lock on turning off., like I am used to on petrol having taken the keys out. I realise this is keyless, so is that why? I am...

Thanks, I'll go for that one, good to know you've got one and it's ok . Thanks for the link .

Evening. Just awaiting delivery ... I want to get a rubber cable protector to cover domestic charging cable over drive ... I have found one with 22mm diameter hole... Does someone know if this is the right size for that cable ... I can only go off photos and it looks about right. ...

I think the chargebump app has been developed to help fellow ev users communicate with each other re charging. I havent used it myself but the idea seems good assuming a sufficient number of people sign up to the app, which i think is free.

Ok, thanks, I think I've got it now. But out of interest, does anyone know where to get a reasonably priced second 3pin cable from?

Hi Sorry no tips yet ... just to say I ordered my 3 from nhs last week and have been advised end of June, with promise of regular updates if sooner or later, sooner I hope. Hope you enjoy your car, good news re nhs fleet, I had read various stories sometimes of not good experiences, so good this...

Hi Both, Thank you for the replies and sorry for delay. The current car just failed mot yesterday, oh, the joy of a new car in a few weeks time. ... I think i could have been more brief in my question, which I think is ... I will only by using the cable supplied with the car to car it from...

Hi, I will be using the standard charge lead to charge from home as can do this overnight and also charge from work. I don't have off road parking you see so can't go for a charging station. I was planning to have the lead set up in a fixed way through a small hole in the wall of the house to...

Ok thanks i think ive got it now: if i want heat i run the ice. Although, without a heater and only aircon how does heat get from the ice to the interior?

Im a bit confused ... without a heater can you generate any internal heat? Can you use the aircon to do this atall?

Thanks everyone for the replies, helpful and reassuring. Looking forward to getting started.

Thanks, that's very helpful info to have. Mainly I will be doing short journeys, perhaps 10 - 12 miles per day - hopefully all on electric. ... hope you are enjoying your car. best wishes.

Hi I have just ordered the gx3h .. seems that most posts on this forum have the 4 ... i didn't want the extras of the 4 for the price, although have spotted a part of the forum (that seemed to trail off) that was about the absence of the electric heater in the 3 and the possible problems of this...
