Re: TOTAL MILES ON FULL CHARGE

Same as in an ICE car - you're never likely see the maximum mpg / range figures listed unless you drive with a very light foot at a consistent speed in ideal circumstances. i managed an average of 3.8 miles/kwh over the warmer months which equates to 228 miles. In my previous EV (hyundai Ioniq origi...

Re: Randomly opening charge flap

If they've changed the assembly it would suggest Renault know there's an issue - but worrying if it's going in the wrong direction! Either that or poor quality control. Hope it gets sorted!

Re: Randomly opening charge flap

Started experiencing the same issue where the charging flap opens up whilst driving after appearing closed. One for a dealer visit - but have noticed there's a slightly different feel when closing the flap when the locking catch hasn't fully engaged. It's less "smooth". If in doubt I lock ...

Re: Fitting dashcam

I've tried to remove the panels when I fitted my dashcam but aborted on the basis they seem reluctant to move. I've run the cables inside the panel gap between the two sections of the mirror / assembly where they're mostly hidden and then tucked them behind the rooflining, across and behind the A pi...

Re: DEPRECIATION

I think there's also more to the "webuyanycar" valuation than just the car itself. I considered selling my previous EV back in June last year and saw their valuations fall over several weeks. When i looked early December the valuation was high again - and when i eventually sold at the begi...

Hi from Southampton - Launch Edition

Hi I took delivery of my Launch Edition 2 weeks ago. Have clocked up 350 miles so far and loving the car; the design, equipment and driving dynamics. Previously had an (original) Ioniq Electric for 3 years so a major upgrade from a 28kw battery - albeit range in these freezing winter temps is only 5...
