Nice to be back, mate. No only for chatting to you lot on the site. But also for the unqualified, and accurate help our members can give. As you’ll have seen, I have ordered an ID.3 and then had to sort out the whole charging nightmare. Biggest problems were getting accurate data for EV Tariffs and correct advice on whether smart meter needed. Much trawling and Googling across countless “expert” sites gave no answers. Some actually went out of their way to conceal stuff. Put these issues up on here and all sorted in a matter of minutes. Brilliant.
Of the criteria you mention re EV drivers I hit only one: owner of well low-mileage EV. Needed electric shopping trolley for around 2,000 miles p.a. Tried as many as I could and settled on ID.3 because:
1) It was the most comfortable by a long way: excellent ride and comfy seats aided by optional dynamic chassis control, and
2) VW, my dealer says, have missed their quota of EVs sold and have therefore kept APs and charges for extra packs at an absurdly low level.
So, my friend, thanks again for all your help and to all the others: kezo, Footloose etc., etc.
Talk again soon
