Wow having been a petrol head for so many years I never thought I would convert i love my ice engine. But wow this little ev has been so impressive . Sharp of the mark being charged by my solar during the day . No warm up or cool down instant response. Renualt have come along way with the tech inside the cab too. Plenty user error getting the data working , but thats the reason I came to this forum . Quick search on here and found my solution. Covered 200 miles this week and been buzzing all of them .
Car is a iconic spec in grey with the gold fins uo front
Look forward to gabbing with you all down the road
Pleased it’s been a good experience. Be great to share experiences. The forum can be quite quiet at times, as people also use social media groups to obtain help and guidance.
We also pickup our brand new 73 plate Launch edition in ceramic grey with black roof later today. It’s being ceramically coated all day Monday, by our usual local detailer, as I am concerned that the black roof may mark with birds mess strikes.
We had intended to go full electric for both our cars, but I chickened out yesterday and decided to keep our eTech hybrid Clio (with its petrol fallback) and instead chop in our electric Peugeot e2008 for the Megane. From the original test drive of two other Méganes, they drove so very well, I’m sure today will come together OK.
Have you got the driving eco icon on your centre screen? Our dealers master tech has tried everything with service and over the air updates, but can’t get it to appear. It seems newer factory built models are coming with it, but earlier built cars aren’t. I’m not sure we’re missing all that much not having it, but the dealership is puzzled why this option can’t be obtained for our launch edition.
@rencar yeah I here what your saying about the ceramic coat , I have that to apply myself , I do love a good polish found the ceramic coating saved a lot of time in the cleaning process with our other cars . Even a quick shower of rain and they come up gleaming lol
Have the camper van as my backup but not sure I will need it . As the megan is our daily back and fourth to school wife works less than 10 miles away. I have the ohme hime charging system which has been pretty good so far. Combined with my house solar to take the edge off charging . Looking to upgrade the solar and hime battery befour I look at ev tariff
As for the eco mode on the dash , can't say iv noticed it . Or sure what you mean . I have it in sport predominantly...lol
The heat pump was a strong selling point for me . Having used the tech with my hottub and air-conditioning unit in my man hut. I saw the dramatic drop in kw used in the house so thought would be ideal for the harsh Scottish climate we get here .
Still adapting my drivi g style , trying not to be a hooligan with that terrifically weird tourqe and 0 gears . Only concern is should I have waited for the renualt 5 ev rendition. Some of the photos look awsome
Got my boot protector for the dog in this week so its a full family affair lol
