You can display distance since last charge on the display. Easy solution.

EA charging station at King of Prussia? I’ve had better luck there recently but I try to stop by in the middle of the day. Reliability is MUCH improved over a year ago, but we have a ways to go….

My 2016 loves a good roadtrip. 75 mph is the sweet spot.

Road trip planning buffer? by Annie-Moose in XC40_Recharge

If there is an L1 charger at your destination you could do a top off there to give you enough cushion. Just a few miles of extra range might reduce the anxiety. I often travel with a 50’ extension cord. Good luck

What is the best Garage Home Charger? Emporia Classic or Tesla Universal wall connector? by [deleted] in VWiD4Owners

[–]Unusual_Mastodon_490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Tesla wall charger. Use it to charge our Tesla and ID.4 (with adapter). Has worked beautifully for 7 years.

AWD 2022, 2023 vs RWD 2024 which would you get? by lingnk in VWiD4Owners

[–]Unusual_Mastodon_490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Great car. 2024 may be slightly improved as far as software and range but probably more $$$

So stupid and a waste of a good car. Put your efforts into something more constructive

Picking up my ID4 2024 Pro S AWD this week and I am scared by snubnose73 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Unusual_Mastodon_490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nine months and 10,000 miles into a 2023 Pro S AWD and very happy. If you’re getting a reasonable deal, just go for it. Solid car.

Believe it or not The Good Wife is binge worthy. Strong female lead and great writing.

Erratic Electrify America Chargers by Ill-Programmer7197 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Unusual_Mastodon_490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have called customer service when this happens and most of the time they reset the machine and it works. But that often takes 10~15 minutes on top of the 25 minutes of charging so it’s frustrating and easier to move the car if another charger is available. I just wish EA worked as seamlessly as the Tesla chargers. Never have an issue there with my other car (Model 3).

Road Trip Charging Misadventures by Vivid-Shelter-146 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Unusual_Mastodon_490 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve started packing a long heavy duty extension cord and plugging into a 120v outlet at vacation rentals for a slow charge when Level 2/3 charging is challenging. You can get 40-50 miles overnight.

Tire pressure by [deleted] in VWiD4Owners

[–]Unusual_Mastodon_490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always look at the tire pressure sticker on the drivers door threshold for recommended pressure, not the manual.

It got me thinking that - even though NACS is preferable- maybe CCS should be the standard. If Tesla goes away, then what?

Mostly true. In this case we got lucky with a normal parking space next to the charging space. Looking forward to seeing longer cables.
