12V lead acid french fossil technology is very, er, french (doesn’t always work as you’d expect really), but if you add a few LiFePO4 cells in parallel it suddenly sorts the issues out. The problem is with the 12V battery state of charge, in a fossil car it always tops up when you drive it, but on an EV it’s not always the case & is a problem on most EVs until they stop thinking in fossil terms.
Dealer’s mechanics haven’t got a clue when it comes to EVs.
So, there are problems with EVs too, but it’s more a problem with the whole fossil industry.
As for the car itself, another problem is that it’s simply not possible to stop smiling when driving it, even after having it over a year.
