Cheers Kezo. I’ll do that tomorrow. I’ve never had a problem before so just presumed they would tell me to take it to the dealer first. So presuming the app gets fixed as preconditioning is now essential, the bugs get ironed out and I just give up on V2L although three years is a long time to wait to get something I really wanted and thought I was getting. That just leaves the range, which is poor. The Kona I could get 260ish without trying and in the e3008 I’m only getting 220ish by really trying. The e3008 is about 440 kg heavier but the e3008 has a 9kw more bigger and more modern battery. This is in similar good weather. So I’m really concerned with winter range. Anything under 220 in winter would be of no use to me. I honestly don’t know what to do, mind if the ioniq 5 was still on id get that in a heartbeat.
Normal practice would be just take it to a dealer however, you are past this stage now, as it’s now in the hands of Peugeot themselves.
Even if everything got fixed, will your confidence in the vehicle be the same. The lack of V2L, I expect will weigh heavily on your mind, especially since you were assured it came with V2L. In the event Motability don’t class the car as a lemon and tell you to change it, you will always have the option of telling Motability you have lost confidence without issue, given all is on file!
My parents have had a Kona electric and like it very much. This morning my mum sent a picture asking, mainly asking for help however, I noticed, they had covered 44 miles since last charge (100%), with a remaining range of 224 miles @84% battery remaining. The have the N line S with the bigger wheels, so the Ultimate with the smaller 17″ would get better range!
Whilst the interir materials look god qaulity, they aren’t as touchy feely soft, as the 3008. In regard to the battery both the Kona and 3008 use a 400V Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) as the battery chemistry and if I’m not mistaken LG Chem is the cell supplier.
The Kona is well worth a look but, it might be a tad too small and its pointless having V2L if you can’t sleep/camp in the bloody thing however, Hyundai/Kia are the only ones serious about V2L!
