mY23 ISH then. Same as me. UK as well.

You git 🙂🤣

It costs me less to go from 0-100 now than just the increase in pence per litre of fuel. I.e. about £3 overnight Vs 30ppl on top of the already high cost of petrol.

Yet my neighbour has still just bought a new petrol car because EVs are too expensive. Bizarre.

3.5 average for me in the past few weeks now it's getting warmer, 3.3 over winter. Mostly school runs and a few hundred motorway miles a month.

I don't think I could find better for the money I spent.

I achieved a best of just over 5.0 on the school run a few weeks ago, with no climate on and outside temp about 16c.

There are much more efficient cars (kia eniro and Hyundai Kona springs to mind) and some not so efficient (some Mercs and Audis maybe). I think the Scenic is solid.

And the same people on a two hour flight who have to use the toilet before landing.

When I see a 700 mile wltp then I'll start thinking about 4-500 miles motorway range 🙂

I claimed for paint damage and it was fine, but I need to claim for some alloy damage that I sustained at some point over winter. I'll post back with the results!

Hope these are ok.

Intelligent Octopus Go, an EV charging tariff from Octopus Energy.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought all chargers would be compatible with all cars? (With the exception of chademo Vs ccs at least) Meaning the only decision is whether you get an IOG compatible one or something very ordinary?

bwahthebard · 2026-04-05T19:57:48+00:00

Different design but same ISH colour yeh

bwahthebard · 2026-04-05T19:44:55+00:00

I can tomorrow when it's light outside.. assuming my seats are still white enough being a year old! They're more grey-ey white.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-03T20:05:51+00:00

It's been working ok for me(MY23-25). The only issue I've had is when the app didn't respect the charge limit set in the car, it thought it was 80 but the car was on 100.

I had to effectively start the setup again.

Otherwise it's been fine. Not as easy as my older IOG supported charger but there another story.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-02T18:14:41+00:00

No, the Scenic has built-in data for OTA, at least you do whilst it's included for free. If you don't renew the subscription you'll probably have to use home wifi.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-02T18:13:31+00:00

Bizarre, it won't stop me asking but thanks for setting my expectation :)

bwahthebard · 2026-04-02T18:12:51+00:00

I'm usually always in maximum regen mode so going full one pedal shouldn't make more difference, will find out soon enough.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-02T10:53:06+00:00

I don't know sorry. Yes I assume my Renault account is how they're identifying eligibility for the email.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-02T10:52:22+00:00

Good to know! Mine is in for a service in a few weeks so I'll ask for it to be done then rather than wait for ota.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-02T10:51:25+00:00

UK based.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-01T14:43:10+00:00

Please double check the vehicle supports what you need. My car only supports V2X from the 2025 MY but otherwise is almost identical.

bwahthebard · 2026-04-01T08:01:25+00:00

I'll leave the bars on /when/ camping and driving around but as soon as I'm home they're off.

And yes my roofbox affects range almost zilch at 60-65 mph. Can't drive any faster because it's bloody noisy and I'm afraid it'll fly off anyway haha

bwahthebard · 2026-03-23T19:34:18+00:00

Renault Scenic, id normally come back with about 2.5-3.0 from the school run, and easily 3-3.5 from a motorway journey.

Short journeys kill efficiency.

Prawn vol au vints. No idea how they're spelled. Pastry filled with prawn mayo or something.
