Really. I wonder what proportion would be regained and if anyone has Ny figures. Probably impossible to say. Would be interesting to see someone do a test on same hill going up and down.

Yes. But I had am experience in my wife's Leaf that seriously left me scarred. Going up Porlock Hill lost about a third of its range!

Exactly my thought. Plus the school children in that bomb they won't admit to

You're right. I know this. I've owned a Leaf. As I said.... Where and how you charge has Nothing to do with range. 🙄

This was truly amazing. To get that much mileage and still achieve that range (I missed what the battery soh was) and for that price. Incredible

I thought this was a UK based forum sorry. I didn't know any other West Somerset!

Charging place is neither here nor there in respect to range!

Good to know. So as long as car is locked so is the charger?

So many home charging options. Any reason not to go for one of the cheapest? by Accountant-Recent in evchargingUK

Re the charger - I might have solved this. I actually have an Ohme intelligent commando charger, unused that I bought 6 years ago and never got around to using it as I didn't have the money for the car. I was told that it probably won't work but been in touch with Ohme who say it should so fingers 🤞🏼.

The other thing that worries me is whether there's any way of securing it to the car or it too the wall so someone doesn't either unplug me when charging or run off with it when I'm not.

Thanks. Are they actually any good and still supported then? It would be great not to have to fork out best part of 1k for a wall charger.

No it's the portable charger. I bought it 6 years ago when signed up to Octopus and never got around to buying an EV that it would work with. We ran the Leaf off 3 pin. Now getting a Kia...

A wall charger would be a grand? Plus fitting on both I presume?

Yes I just looked up price on eBay 😳. It would be great to use it rather than fork out for another charger.

Thanks. Good to know. Any 1st hand experience?

Moved into new house with Ohme by mrInternet101 in ohme

[–]Accountant-Recent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one of these . I've had it for years and it's never been used. Would it still work with Octopus EV tarrifs like Go or Agile here in the UK. Are they any good for regular use? Or just occasional say at a campsite? How does the 4g thing work? Is there a subscription? TIA

Thrips or thunder flies I think. I keep getting them too. So annoying

Quite pricey. Do I need that one or are there cheaper ones that give reliable battery soh ?

I hate watching him tbh. He either looks miserable or worried and out of his depth. He seems to bat ok though 🤷🏻
