First time I read that I auto-inserted the necessary three into it
It has been revised along with the 12v battery issue on Pre MY21 cars.
Post, you mean?
. Also, does this correspond to the mini facelift thing? So if I find one with a 20/40/20 rear seats foldy split thing, i'm alright for a correctly bonded windscreen?
p.s thanks Mike for your response!

or Post or something as the 12v battery issue was on Pre MY21 cars as was the windscreen issueIf the car has 11KW charging and Pivi Pro its the facelift.
Aha ah sorry I read it the other way now and it makes senseNo I mean Pre
If the car has 11KW charging and Pivi Pro its the facelift.
Ta ver much.
Just realised I've not seen any Christmas or new year charging 'stories' knocking around, guessing they've forgotten about it now, or perhaps there wasn't anything to report as charger roll out significantly increased in 2023, hmmm
Anyone seen any FUD?

I’ve not seen any queues at the usual spots this year tbh. The expense of public chargepoints could be one reason I guess.
Must admit any non Tesla EV I’ve seen on the motorways before or during xmas has been driven relatively slowly, with well wrapped up occupants and steamed up windows

Is this one of your 15 spam posts to get MM access back, as it sure reads like one, and has nothing to do with you owning an EV.

Lots of it.
If you want to keep pollution close. Move somewhere with it . You're not short of countries and cities to choose from.
the luddites are revelling in the relatively low petrol prices, whilst I think the average ev owner, 2/3d's being fleet sales are better off anyway;
have to see if the chancellor does anything about levelling up ev ownership possibilities for the them/former (which I believe the french have proposed)
(The holy father has now signed the vatican up for a vw ev deal - but I think I already told johnny that news)
Hilarious
To be fair, I saw some people in the Tesla owners group moaning about a fairly large queue at Tebay just before Xmas. However, since the upgrade there it was turning over cars pretty quickly and nothing like last years issues.Just realised I've not seen any Christmas or new year charging 'stories' knocking around, guessing they've forgotten about it now, or perhaps there wasn't anything to report as charger roll out significantly increased in 2023, hmmm

The problem with Tebay is that it’s a really nice services and it has the best tesla charging provision for miles and miles so everyone and their dog piles in there regardless of whether it’s a good idea or not.
There are expansions going in at Gretna and a new site in Preston so hopefully that will give people more options next year but they’ll all still probably pile into Tebay anyway.

Xmas is probably peak time of year for people who rarely do long distance drives, to do those drives.
That old trick of doing long journeys at night to avoid traffic might be useful for EVs. Bjørn Nyland. I think does a lot of his testing at night.

I did a trip to Scotland earlier in the year, it had me charge to 95% at one stop, in order to skip the more congested Superchargers. So they actively manage the issue.
To be fair, thats the only issue I have with opening them up, the lack of automated balancing as non Tesla's will just manually choose.

Don't they penalise you if you charge past 90% now, or is that something they were considering?
No, it’s something they are doing in America only.
I suspect it will come here though as the network opens up as they way they currently encourage you to move on will be ineffective.
What they current do is if you plug in at a high usage station it will automatically set your charge limit to 80% but you can just move it back to 100% if you are so inclined. I don’t think it will do that though if you need >80% to get to the next scheduled charger.
Once the charging stops Idle fees kick in after 5 mins. I think they are 50p/min of the charger is >50% full and £1/min if it’s >75% full.
