When are you going fully electric?

The Ohme changes from 'Add %' to 'Charge to %' if you add the car to the app and allow access to the car's API. I don't bother as we have two EVs so it doesn't matter which one we plug in , IOG will just smart charge to the % set by the car. You shouldn't need to keep amending the app, just set the car to end charging to your preferred %.

I've tried to do that but getting an error. Contacted Ohme and they came back with:

Thank you for your message.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with Ohme recognising the battery status.

We have recently become aware that there is an issue affecting Hyundai API functionalities. Our Product team is currently investigating this issue and will look to resolve this as soon as possible.

As an Ohme Labs feature, communication directly through your vehicle (via API) is still in development. As a result, it may not work as intended from time to time.

For the moment you would need to disconnect the API link (by clicking "Unpair my Hyundai", then "Unpair now") and then adjust your charge schedule slightly to 'add' a certain amount of charge on top of any existing battery, rather than meeting a 'target'.

There is more information about how to charge without API support in our support article below:

How do I choose the right target for my car? - Ohme EV (ohme-ev.com)

We're sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Please note that as long as this issue is under investigation by the Product team, it will not be monitored for replies and will be considered closed. If you require any other assistance or have any other questions, please send a new email to [email protected]

It seems to be their standard response and they don't seem to care to look into it. My fault for not reading the reviews :cry: I know a few people with an Ioniq 5 who are working fine, so no idea why some people are having issues and some aren't. I'd have expected the same API to be used to get that info...

0% doesn't mean it is a good deal. It just means you aren't getting a discount

Discounts can still be had, I got offered an £850 discount on the 52kW Iconic R5 with the 0% PCP offer by a dealer. Alternatively the Blue Light Card discount is 7.5% with free metallic paint but it's not clear if that can be combined with the 0% PCP offer until customer orders open at the end of the month.

No heated seats or steering wheel on the Tecno trim which rules that out for me.

I’m really tempted by this now we’ve finally been able to get a smart meter out in the sticks (and it works! - but aren’t there a few warning signs about Tomato already?

Should be going live today, but website not showing any data at all and I can’t enter a meter reading! So first impressions aren’t the best vs how slick Octopus software and general response rate was! Will see if sorts itself for tomorrow.
 
I was tempted with the Audi E-Tron Or E-Tron S for my next car as when i will have finished paying for the Lexus they should be down to less than 30K for a decent one however my friend who has recently owned one (It might be written off as someone pulled out in front of him last week) said he has a few issues with it. One was that it the charging wouldnt sync with his charger (Supplied and fitted by them) so it wasnt able to accurately perform charge. There was also an issue with the fob and this is on top of the poor range.

So i might just go for a Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range with performance update.

I do love the look of the Lexus NX450h+ but that is a plug in Hybrid and Still costs £590 a year tax.. :(

These are two wildly different cars. How did you go from an etron (crap range, lovely car, big estate/SUV) to a model 3 LR (great range, crap car, medium size saloon)?

I'm not sure that is better than a PCH lease still, as the representative example still puts it at £13,819 (with your £850 discount) for 25 months with 6k miles pa, so ~£525 per month . Which is ~£2.8k more than the same model on PCH with 6k miles pa, and again no massive upfront deposit.
 
No one drives an EV at 80 who is interested in range.

Jpaul this is getting so tiresome. Random links with incomprehensible posts that need deciphering that seem to just be a thought dump with no actual point to the post. What actually are you trying to tell us above ????

Didn’t you know efficiency is the only attribute… next we shall be measuring urban EVs based on how well they cruise at 80mph and DC fast charge…

Is that really a video to a French review? Jesus Christ.
Click to expand...
well known french institution company Argus - they have journalists who can actually drive he did their r5 review
as I think I commented before, not just a random youtube video (it's M&S)

80mph range in winter gives you an upper bound / worst case .... and if you were driving into a stronger head wind at 70mph probably see the same.

e: I'm amazed when people watch a whole Harry/jonny/rory/top-gear video - life is too short

Harry liked the R5.

My spidey senses are tingling a bit. He's been quite vocally anti-EV for quite some time and I suspect is losing a share of his audience as a result. He's now fluffing up this one a bit to pull things back in line imo.
 
Motors: "Ah look, the R5 is out, I wonder how it's going to fare?"

Jpaul: "here's a video in french driving it beyond our speed limits"

Motors: "lol jpaul, what the hell are you on about this time?"

Jpaul: "here's another one in French, this time a completely different car also driven beyond our speed limits, also M&S"

lmao
