Why is that, HHL? I dont see any reason that wont work, if he gets a big enough UPS, say 2300w It would be able to charge the car, for a while. Most of the ones ive seen outputs clean sinus power. Charging the 12v internal batterys isnt a big deal. Efficient? Maybe not, but it would work IMO :)

Locking mechanism for the charge port?

You are right, they do at higher levels atleast, not sure about the lower ones. Dont seem like it.

Power can easily be taken from the fuse box, both high beams have separate fuses after the relay. SO they are powered only when high beams are active. I used one of these to get a signal for my external relay https://crimpsupply.com/circuit-protection/add-a-fuse-micro-atr-fuse-tap.html Bracket...

Fairly quick job to change them back before MOT :lol:

I`ve replaced the halogens with LEDs for high beams, works like a charm. Be sure you get good ones, that are not too thick as it will change the pattern. I`ve got these and can recommend them...

You can see this when opening the hood, the reservoir sits right up front, and the water/coolant will move when the pump is active :)

Post a photo of your hitch, there are many different types.

Not true, in the Nordics we have 230V supply, charging still takes around 7 hours limited by onboard charger. The cable is only a controller. For fast charging - CHAdeMO is required (20/50kW DC), and getting that at home sounds really expensive :p

Same issue on my 2018 with LEDs, they are just set too high. Not like any other car i`ve had or got now. Others cars keeps flashing me, unless im going downhill or very flat road. Just the smallest climb and everyone gets blinded - and yes they are VERY bright. Was like this from factory...

The stock high beams are totally useless IMO, driving lights are perfect though (LEDs) So i`ve mounted 2 Rigid Dually`s on a standard licence plate bracket. They also do not interfer with the front parking sensors.

For flush rails you will need the Thule 4030 mounting kit. I`ve got those on my 2018 with Wingbar Edge bars https://www.thule.com/nb-no/no/roof-rack/car-racks/thule-wingbar-edge-9595-_-959500

I`ve noticed this also during longer trips. I guess its heat from the battery pack. Not very smart during summer, in winter i guess it will be just fine for the person sitting behind me :) My car was brand new from dealer May.28 this year.

20.000km service interval here in Norway or 1 year, whatever hits first. (~12.000miles) We also get 7 years factory warranty/140.000km (~86.000miles) Warranty that we still have atleast 70% battery after 8 years/160.000km (~99.000miles)

My car, had it for 2 months now and 5200km. Really pleased with it.
