Re: Electric motor failure warning

Had this happen to me after a full traction battery replacement. I was told it's a traction battery coolant pump failure. We'll see when I get it back from Renault...

Re: Charging impossible

Got my car back on Wednesday and now I've got a red warning "Electric Motor Failure". Well I guess it's back to Renault for another repair...

Re: Charging impossible

Got a call yesterday from the Renault dealership saying they need to replace the traction battery!? I'm pretty sure it's not that serious based on this thread, but a shiny new battery doesn't sound that bad to me. But I've only clocked 36k miles on it.

Will keep updating...

Re: Charging impossible

I've had DC charging impossible come up a few times when the car first starts, I think that's more of a slow booting issue, or a 12v issue

Re: Google maps gone from main screen

Exactly the same as me! YouTube music was causing the entire system to go black. Not had it installed for a few weeks and it's been fine ever since. I just use wireless android auto to play music from my phone instead

Re: Charging impossible

Just had this happen to me in the middle of driving. Assumed it would go away over night. After going back and forth with different dealerships saying they couldn't book me in until April, then calling Renault Assistance (to get the RAC to tell me they can't do anything), it's finally at the dealers...

Re: Megane e-tech charging Range Issue.

If you read the above thread you'll see my comments on this. You need to ignore what mileage the car is telling you, it is basically always wrong. A 60kWh battery at 3.5 miles/kWh is 210 miles from 100% to 0% (not that anyone will drive to empty) This is the same for all electric cars, and even ICE ...

Re: Driving in ice and snow

Saw some interesting behaviour from my Mégane today driving down a fairly steep (about 10%) hill in snowy conditions. Normally I get a good regen percentage down there adding a few miles onto the range (the ones that came off going up) but today the power meter stuck at zero all the way down. My gu...

Letter from DVLA about road tax

Anyone else get a letter about EVs no longer being zero rated for road tax? When did that happen?! Was a surprise to me having to pay £190/year from April next year. I knew it was coming but not heard anyone reporting on it. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vehicle-tax-for-electric-and-low-emissions-vehi...
