Hi Glenn As posted by others, it takes about 3.5hrs via a 16amp charger and about 5hrs via a 13amp socket. I suppose PCC are thinking that you have some charge left in the battery when you plug in and are therefore suggesting a charge time of 1hr. I have raised the question before on this forum...

Hi just to fuel to the fire I carry a disabled drivers blue badge due to a mobility problem and I suppose I could be making things worse now by taking up an EV space and leaving a disabled bay empty. It is an offence to park in a disabled bay of a council run car park with a fine of up to £1000...

I have always thought this could be a problem with public charging points. Our local town has installed charging points in some of their car parks and three P&R facilities. I can see the car parks being used for top up with people only staying for 2-3 hours but the park and ride is used by...

This is one of things that I have found most annoying about the car. Most of my journeys are from my home on the edge of Dartmoor into Plymouth a round trip of about 25 miles. The journey in is mostly downhill for the first third of it and I can still have the suggested EV range the same as when...

Nothing for mine, but Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to all you PHEV owners out there

Hi I haven't fitted one to my car but I have for the the last 8 years owned a motorhome which when new cost nearly £60k and part of the insurance requirement was for a tracker system to be installed. I had one as supplied by Phantom Tracking Systems and found it to work very well, with text...

I would suggest you check out the charging points before you buy any adaptor, if the charging points are as you have suggested 32 amp commando type outlets they are different in size to the 16 amp sockets and I am not too sure you can get an adaptor to suit. The commando type outlets are used...

The gx4 with MMCS has the facility to put in the cost of your unit of electricity, it will then show the cost of each charge, unfortunately it doesn't keep them as a daily cost but shows them a a cumulative total. Our rates in the West Country are some what higher than yours but I have changed...

Yes there are multiple yards of cable between your consumer unit and the sockets that you use but these are designed to take into consideration volts drop caused by the resistance of the cable. Whilst the extension lead is rated at 13amps asking a lead of the length shown in the picture to draw...

I've got the same problem with my iPhone 4s and iPad, I updated before I got the car on the 29th, thought it was me! I have set the times on the MMCS and it all seems to work ok, the only other issue I have with the app is that it is not totally obvious if the times are on or off if you use this...

Has anyone found how to change the AVAS to sound like either a Ferrari or Lamborghini, rather than a sewing machine!!

Bit of help and advice please re the charger timer, picked my GX4 on Monday and have been looking to charge it over night to take advantage of the off peak rates. Set the first pattern to come on at 01.00 hrs & off at 07.00hrs and this I allocated to each day,I thought there would be an over...

I have also looked into this before taking delivery of my GX4 on Monday of this week, I have not bothered before to shop around just accepted the rate of the supplier I have been with since before privatisation but with the new car and increased consumption I thought it would be worth looking...

Hi Picked up my Gx4 this morning, 6miles on the clock and have done about 20 all on battery with some left. I managed to sync the app on my iPhone 4 but like you I was unable to set the timer, all days showed the off section but no start time also when I accessed the timer wheel it would appear...

Sorry what i meant is that if the timing cycle is complete and you are still pluged into the mains will the heating then be supplied from the mains? Regards Peter

Hi So are you saying that if you set the charger to come on between say 1am & 7am, to gain the advantage of off peak, if you are still pluged into the mains and turn on the heating with the remote control it will draw its supply from the mains? Regards Peter

That's a fantastic MPG, but shouldn't we be looking at this from a different angle and be quoting a cost per mile? Whilst you have travelled 758 miles a great deal of those miles would have been on battery power which have cost you to charge, so would it be fairer to combine this cost with the...

Happy days, I have been told by my dealer that I can collect my GX4 on Monday, not bad only had to wait a month. A question if I can regarding the climate control/ AC, the system in the PHEV looks the same as that in my present car, this I set at about 19deg. With the fan running at low, I very...

Hi I am awaiting delivery of my GX4 and like yourself was wondering what the mpg would be like on longer journeys I asked the question under the heading mpg in the technical section, which you may find of interest

Hi maddogsetc Yeah my mistake so used to thinking in terms of mpg, never really thought before of the cost of each mile only what the car returned in mpg. It's only now with a different fuel cost that I have started looking at it. Any way with all the savings I should be able to enjoy a few more...
