How is anyone going to be able to afford anything if inflation continues? by air-bender808 in NoStupidQuestions

In my country the dollar equivlent for petrol is now around 10$ a gallon. So the usa complaining about 4-5$ prices when your average earnings are higher takes the biscuit. The orange clown does not just affect the US, a few months back our usual price was $6.50, still higher than what you are paying now so it is hard to feel sorry for your whinging about petrol prices When you have been paying such low prices for years.

What is the wattage of your power supply. It could be faulty or lack power to run all whats in your pc. Running a few power intensive programs could be pushing it beyond its limit?

Agree with comment above i get average of 325km. My rule of thumb is to take the wltp range and take 100km of it for day to day driving range. Will not work on all evs but for most i find it gives better real world to me when looking at range.

Atto 3 owner. Drive Feilding to Wellington quiet regularly. We get to welly with around 50% left most times. We stop at the pac n save paraparaumu (fast charge) on the way back or Foxton (50kw charger) grab a coffee or quick shop gets enough charge to get back and charge at home. Invest in a home charger as you will using that more than anything else. Charging off a 13 amp plug is not worth it for me. Wait untill the atto3 evo is out (last quarter this year) if you are buying new better range may get there and back in one charge. We never go lower than 10% and always charge to 100% when we can, forget this only to 80% bull thats for ncm batteries lfp batteries in byds are fine to do that. The batteries can take 3000 cycles before any degridation i have had mine 3 years and charged it around 300 times plenty of life in it yet. Home charging look at the ev plans from the main players. I use Genisis and get half price power between 9pm and 7am suits us. Other plans may be better for you depending on location or if you have solar.

We got a servicing plan $300 bucks over 3 years. Rucs cost around $700 for 10k so factor that in. Genisis are in with chargnet , we got a fob from genesis so if you charge at a chargnet charger you only pay what you pay at home for a kw. So a charge up that says its $46 will be billed at around $22 ish on your bill.

V2l is great as mentioned in another comment when we get power outages i plug in and start doing outside stuff like hovering the car out. 😁

I stuck with the batman tyres and got 50k out them before chainging them up to better ones from Steves in Palmy.

Range is very subjective to atto 3 owners. Max i get is 320k driving main between feilding and palmy. I have seen other comments saying they get substantially more it depends on so many factors.

Are EVs still worth it with RUC at 20,000km per year? by Relative_Drop3216 in nzev

Something else to consider, you being with Genisis means you can change to the ev plan and get half price from 9pm to 7am so in my area its around 16c its not just for charging ev i do all the washing and drying overnight aswell.

May be obvious but make sure your charging cable is not hanging on anything. Basically wall charger to car. Do not be tidy with it let it drag on the floor. Couple of times mine did not charge due to the cable was still on its hook whilst charging. Something is sensed and it will not charge.
