    i knew someone would be able to get all techy about the charging bit. well done gothitjulie. the colours are still pants.

    What about some nice “go faster” stripes?

     

    The charging curves can change too with firmware updates, the Pug 208/2008 charge profiles having just been made a little more aggressive earlier on in the charge but still takes the same time overall.

    Not having the Autocharge though on the ID3, I’ll be watching the ID3 drivers getting a little more wet in the rain then. It’s not a deal breaker, just another minor annoyance.

    The Kona went through some, er, battery pack issues (yes, there were cases of flaming Konas) so charge curves were adjusted down a little, the VW battery packs may get adjusted upward in time once VW are happy with no ID3s spontaneously combusting whilst rapid charging. It’s about heat building up in the pack though, & that’s not usually going to be much of an issue living in the UK, but my e2008 battery pack almost got upto temperature on the hottest day last summer & the cooling for the battery pack even came on whilst charging on a Rapid… aircon test worked well though.
