@Jim, I installed the latest update which was a pain as it killed my 12v battery. Got to work, the EV charger was taken so couldn’t leave it on charge, but I plugged in the USB key and the message said the car can be left unattended with the ignition off so I did exactly that, and came back to a stone cold car. I didn’t know the battery was dead at first, pushing the ignition and poking buttons got me some flashing lights which seemed random. Of course, no one at work had jump cables and I didn’t think to check the 12v battery anyway (how could I without kit), but luckily, an RAC van was attending a breakdown a couple of streets away so I got assistance (and a jump start) within 20 minutes of calling them. What a pain – I’ll remember to leave it plugged in a charging next time I update it.
But…. the update did not solve the problem, and I haven’t found another solution to it either.
@fwippers, I don’t really agree that this isn’t a big deal. Imagine the scenario, I get home, there’s driving rain, I’ve got a boot full of equipment, shopping and various trinkets that my wife feels the need to transport to and from the MIL. I just bang the charger in, grab 8 bags of stuff, grab the missus and our son and get them in the house, my wife is usually having a hypo and my son is kicking off and there’s a load of frozen shopping that needs putting away… I have ASD and ADHD and my meds have worn off by late afternoon, so I’ve forgotten to check the horribly, horribly kludgy app, and when I wake up the next morning, instead of consuming 28 units at 7.5p (4 hours x 7kw = £2.10) it has consumed up to 60 units at 40p (£24), and finished charging before the cheap rate even kicks in. This happened almost every charging session in December (more than usual, admittedly, and sometimes the car had a fairly high SoC and I plugged in late at night), meaning my electricity bill was over £100 more than expected, over and above the usual seasonal premium
Luckily we’re making such huge savings over our old diesel that we’re still quids in overall, but that’s still £100 gone to waste, and big picture, this bug could be costing owners £1,000s over the lifetime of their ownership, and collectively could cost them £millions
