VW ID.3

You said it appeared a few weeks ago and disappeared again? Same happened us a few weeks ago with part two. Emailed the vw connect address and they sorted it.

Well if anyone wants to translate the m/kWh to kWh per 100km or whatever it is you lot use...

This was my long run today. Deliberately didn't stop for a charge as I wanted to see the damage.

77kWh Tour. Charged to 100% overnight but dropped 1% by defrosting this morning as I forgot to do it while it was still charging. So left at 99% to drive from Donegal to Belfast (Holywood actually) and back.

185 miles travelled, with about a 2 hour stop while in Holywood. Back to Derry for another 2 hour stop and then on the last 12 miles or so home.

Left this morning with the temperature at 2 degrees, dropped to -2 at times and lots of fog over the Glenshane. Got up to 8 degrees going into Belfast, but back down to 5 by the time we got home.

Used 90%, at an average of 2.7m/kWh. So I'd get about 205-210 miles (330km or so) on a full charge.

That's down from 270m/435km in August.

Big drop, but I'm happy with 200 miles overall in winter.

Yeah ours is absolutely filthy as well.

Bad in what way? You need to charge it when it’s low! :)

and what do you mean by “as it was already plugged in”?

You must have gotten a lower rated cable for the ID3.

Have my ID.3 Family, 58KWh due in for feb, VW wallbox sitting there waiting to be installed. Kinda worried now that I didn't pick the Tour 5, but the family was already pushing my budget.

No? Where do I find out about that?! Buy them? Ask the electrician?

looking at the spec sheet it would appear you need a CT clamp for the load balancing, I would imagine your dealer would be able to sort you out for one and I can't imagine that it is a huge expense. Wouldn't think an electrician would have one unless he is doing a lot of VW charger installs.

Charged up today at Ionity Cashel, my penultimate free charge, still €12 remaining. Will use that up on a Dublin trip on Tues, my We Charge offer ending on Wed.

Today when starting charge car was at 17% and charged to 100% (Driving immediately after). Took 46.05kWh. Looks like the usable battery is about 55.5kWh.(58kWh model). I know I would need to let the battery % get lower for a more accurate figure. Don't know how that compares to when car was new, but don't notice any range decrease after almost 24K km. Am I correct to say that Ionity only shows what the car takes on, after losses?

Car driven 276 km since last charged(Also to 100%) and 65 km indicated remaining (17%). No motorways, most on 80 and 100 km/h roads. Plus town and city. Apart from this morning temp down here was 8 or 9C so there was little if any battery heating. This morning left without pre heating car (Temp about 3C with fog) and efficiency was very poor for first 40 km or so (About 25kWh/100km) but reduced quickly after that to 16.8kWh/100km. Also sun was quite strong this afternoon (Apart from odd fog bank) so heater draw would have been very little.

Just normal driving on normal roads, being held up quite a lot with slower traffic. I try to drive smoothly, but certainly not slowly. In "D" freewheeling as much as possible.

As an aside, Cashel was very quiet today over lunch time. I was the only EV there for the duration.

Before plugging in:

After charging to 100%:

Trip home was warmer in strong sun (most of the time), car showing 287 km remaining after 90 km driven since charging. I am aware that will reduce by perhaps 30 km on my next cold start if temp low again.

The average speed includes stopping in Clonmel with the car powered up for about 5 mins, otherwise kept to speed limits or a little more. But good day for driving, dry roads and no wind.

It's about 35-40 miles of motorway speed in each direction now, with the various bits of the A6 upgraded to dual carriageway.

I don't know, don't have any way of checking the battery accurately. But looks as though I have about 55.5kWh usable (58kWh version), which appears similar to when I got car 15 months ago (24K km). Have never run car down very low, but hoping there is a decent low buffer..

Could be just a rounding thing

11.4*5.5 add 8.47=71.17

"we already know it's an 84 Kwh battery"

it's an 82kWh battery not 84

First of July?

Oh deary me. I hope that's a typo, otherwise I hold out little hope for my September order, so. (Tour 5)

June 21' order of an ID3 Tour w. Heat Pump, now collecting on Jan 6th FINALLY!
