When are you going fully electric?

I've seen exactly the same thing, it's pretty annoying! Because I WFH 3 days a week, on the WFH days I'm happy for the car to be ready by 11am (since, if it offers a 9am-11am charge slot, I can make use of that while at home), but on WFO days I need it ready by 8am.
Changing the ready time seems to set the vehicle charge limit to 50%. I need 50% for a round trip to the office, so I really do need to be careful to re-adjust the charge limit to a more sensible, less squeaky-bum amount.

So I find it will go to 50% if the charge limit is changed in the IO app. However if adjusted in the Tesla app, its fine.

never mind - the recent acclaimed govt business investor who is fixing up public charging at little-chefs is mquary the same guyjim who fixed thames water,
thought he was talking about the BT digital fibre installation for people in the sticks aren't govt now heavily subsidising that so people can WFH at their holiday cottage

This, sadly is the crux of it.

My Mum is 64 and has just ordered a brand new car on lease. An EV would be ideal as she only really does 20-30 mile journeys - and is never more than 80 miles from home. My Dad has a diesel they can use if they're driving somewhere long distance and they already have a charger installed in the house they moved into last year.

Shes ordered a Mild Hybrid as "It does 60mpg!" My Diesel A3 did that 15 years ago.

Even with the warranty she was too nervous to try something new.

I get that. My mother is 77 and if it wasn't for living in a flat, I would recommend she use an EV.

She also doesn't go particularly far, she struggles a bit on the forecourt, it could be set to be nice and warm when she first gets in (she still works albeit locally)

I would say she'd probably go for EV if she could.

However, we start off with one of the hurdles of EV ownership - living in a flat. Doesn't stop you owning EV but adds a complication that doesn't exist with ICE of hybrid.

My partner is 42 and is a bit of a technophobe. She would need a lot of convincing to go EV (she's driven the Ipace once in 2 years) and if it's not manual, it's basically witchcraft.
