Re: Hello from the Midlands

Welcome to the club. Range anxiety soon passes once you realise that the state of charge estimation at your destination in Google maps is pretty accurate. Also the number of chargers around the place as shown in Google helps too. Picked my Megane up from Manchester and drove it home to Somerset - 23...

Re: Maximum DC charging capacity

I've had 128kW at a Tesla V4 after setting it as the charging stop, that was in very cold and wet conditions too. Dropped to around 90kW eventually. Usually get over 100kW at Gridserve and this tails off to about 80kW after 30 minutes and 80% SOC.
Sounds like your car has a problem.

Re: Reset the trip meter

Unfortunately just the one trip meter! Even my wife's Picanto has two. Come on Renault give us a second one via an OTA.

Re: What bits really make an EV properly cool?

Pre-conditioning the cabin. Missed it last week when I had to take the wife's car out early in the morning at zero degrees. ;)

Re: Openr-link 3.2.0

MY25. I haven't seen anything obvious with the menus, though I haven't been through all of them. I have spotted a difference in how the driving directions are shown in the main instrument cluster if you don't have the map showing. Roundabouts now show a standard symbol and a number representing the ...

Openr-link 3.2.0

Openr-link 3.2.0 installed OTA on 21st (Sat). Only thing in release note is changes to audio sound and some reorganization of the menus. Can't say I've noticed any marked change in the sound and nothing obvious in the menus.
Has anybody spotted any significant changes?

Re: New owner facing multiples issues

For the vibration issue get the wheels checked for tyre balance, if they're not properly balanced you can get vibrations through the steering at various speeds, usually as speed increases. This is not unique to EVs. For strange smells, check the front carpets aren't wet, some early cars had issues w...

Re: Octopus Intelligent Go now available for the Megane

For those without the Ohme charger this is how I've set it up with my Indra Smart Lux. In my scenario there are four Apps at play, my charger's App (Indra Smart Lux), Mobilize Smart Charge, My Renault and Octopus. Anyway, my charger app is set to charge anytime the charger is plugged in (scheduled a...

Re: Tecnical Platform 1.1.0 OTA Update stuck at 0%

Good luck somersetbob. I’ve just got mine working after it kept saying the EV is full. I had to get into the car and select “charge immediately“ now it’s working. Thanks for the info on the update.👍👍😁 The charge went ahead without issue. It's a bit confusing because there are four Apps at play, my ...
