Re: Specs for 20" space saver.

Hi Phorridge, sorry, can't help with your question but if you find a suitable wheel, could you post the details and a link to the supplier if possible. Thanks

Re: Eco Mode for heating?

Thanks for the reply. I had already tried removing the charging cable so will keep searching for the source of the rattle (it sounds like the car rather than anything I'm carrying).

Eco Mode for heating?

Having a scout through the menus and I have a few questions! 1 - I have Eco (driving) Mode on but within Eco Mode I have not set up the heating to be in Eco Mode (changes the "efficiency" rating from 85% to 100% if I click on it). Could somebody tell me what happens to the heating if the h...

Re: Regenerative braking "drag" on accelerator?

Thanks for the replies. I could understand the predicted range increasing (bottom left of the dashboard where the remaining battery percentage is shown) but was concerned by the change of feel in the accelerator and the immediate increase in miles per kwh being achieved (as shown by the display on t...

Regenerative braking "drag" on accelerator?

When I increase the regen braking (usually from 1 to 2) there is a very noticeable impact on the throttle pedal. It feels like it has tightened up, for want of a better description, and needs more pressure to get the same result. The indicated miles I am getting per kwh increases immediately (even t...

Re: Had my Megane Electric for one week now. - all good.

Looks like most people are getting a similar range. I'll have a look at the climate control and other settings as suggested, which will hopefully help and perhaps I just need to be patient and see what happens as the weather improves.

Re: Had my Megane Electric for one week now. - all good.

I am really struggling for range which has, at best, averaged 163 since I’ve had the car. The actual figure is almost certainly lower as there was a fair bit of delivery mileage on the car before it’s first charge and I don’t know how much of the total mileage was therefore done before the dealer ch...

Re: Phone wireless charge pad size?

Hi Paul, Just measured the mat and I make it 162 mm x 85 mm at the narrowest points (give or take a mm!). Not sure if the thickness of some 'phones might steal a mm or two from the width as possibly the shape of the upward edge at the back may mean it wouldn't be possible to use every mm and still l...

Re: UK order tracking

Thanks MonteCol, yes, I was using an iPhone so that could be the problem. Will try setting the card up on an android one at some stage. My rate of consumption was clearly better today (first time I've been more than a couple of miles in above zero temperatures) as I did about 14 miles and ended up w...

Re: UK order tracking

I'm getting a range of between 160 and 180 but I think this is down to the cold snap and the car therefore using charge to heat the batteries and the car interior. I've read/seen a good number of reviews of the car where they have achieved about the stated range so I'm not expecting a long term issu...
