If there's no oil consumption you may as well use the chart on page 11-06 of the Owner's Manual.

You had the 12V aux battery replaced a month ago and the car was fine. Then one day it wouldn't even power the dashboard ? Was that the day after the car was working ? Then a fuse or one of the Start relays. Or a large phantom current drain.

I'm sure Michal is fascinated to know everyone else's works up to 130kph. But his Japanese import is limited in the software to 115kph and he wants to know how to increase that !

EV batteries like a certain temperature for charging, 20C to 25C I believe. So some cars will warm the battery before commencing charge, and may start cooling as the charge progresses.

115 km/h is 71.5mph, 3mph less than the 120km/h motorway limit in Eire. Is it worth the effort ?

Performance brake pad tend to be softer than standard pads. So it's the pads that wear quicker, making more dust.

My 2014 : Turn on - no AVAS sound. Put into D with handbrake on and foot OFF footbrake, car not moving - AVAS comes on and can be heard. Was the car in EV only, or was the ICE on too ?

The ICE isn't efficient until warmed up. So does leaving the car to manage itself lead to lots of warm ups ? Whereas every 15 miles is fewer warm ups ?

When I'm on a 200 mile journey with 50mph+ possible. I drive EV down to about 5 miles range. CHARGE until I'm back to 20 mile range. Run in EV down to 5 miles. Rinse and repeat. That's roughly 50/50 petrol/EV.

Have you tried the portable charger at someone else's home ?

Nobody is going to pay to replace their battery after 10 years, they will sell the car before then. There are loads of 10+ year old Renault Zoe, Nissan LEAF, and Mitsubishi I-MIEV/Peugeot Ion/Citroen C-Zero around. Most still have 60% or more of their battery capacity left. Which makes them...

I've never made sense of the model numbers. Look on. Look on YouTube for videos on how to change the pads and discs. Did my fronts recently, not hard.

"Thanks for this guys. I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about." Captain Kirk doesn't know how the Starship Enterprise works either. Buckle-up and command "Ahead Warp One", works for him :)

The car rolls for surprising long distances on gentle slopes with no accelerator and B0. You save more energy by coasting than you gain by regen. Of course use more B to reduce speed on steeper hills.
