The Ohme app will not be able to pre-heat your car. The Ohme app should precondition your battery maybe?
But pre-heating your car should be done using the Skoda app
Hyundai,s Blue-link on the ioniq is used to pre-heat the car.
I could be wrong, with the Enyaq.
You got there and back with 40% left which is good.
I’ve never used the ohme the cabin pre – heat, I’ve always used the Nissan app. It does look like you can.
Ah, that is why Ohme wants yo pair with your phone possibly?
Alrighty then, I wouldnt trust the Ohme app to do anything other than charge the car.
I use the Hyundai app, it controls the charging sessions, and pre-heats the cab.
It really should be the manufacturers controls that do that stuff, not a 3rd party App.
Hi all,
i hope you’re safe and well
i currently charge my Cupra Born at home for 9 pence per KW off peak so i love my EV and costs however due to being placed on dialysis recently in addition to my prosthetics etc I am having to reduce my hours at work further meaning i have to sell my current home downsizing to an apartment though a new development and apparently podpoint EV chargers will be installed for the apartments to use.Id love to keep my house but it’s not possible and I’m not sure if anyone has any experience of this charging method that I will eventually use though not until May/june 2025 when the property is built ?
sorry if that’s long winded 😔
Battery full charge this morning 100% 326 miles. A few runs about the city totaling 12 miles.
Battery now 83% 272 miles left.
AVG speed 8mph 1.7 mipkw.
At those figures I might get about 124 miles from a full charge 😂
Our ex30 said it was 6 miles annd 4% off the battery a 2mile journey today.
Short journeys are never very efficient, cars always suffer, petrol or EV. How you getting on with the EX30? Its a good looking car and will turn heads wherever you go.
lovely car, horrible software. If you can tolerate that it’s fine. Which I do, just about. It’s not a show stopper it’s just not an enjoyable experience. I only do short drives so it’s fine. Those who rely on longer journey would pull their hair oot
Peugeot E3008: Bloody hell!…
So the wife and I set off this morning for my first longish trip for a couple of months. We were doing the 100 mile round trip to Belfast to do a bit of shopping. I charged up the car to 100% overnight and the guessometer was showing its normal 327 mile range. I reset the trip meter to zero.
When we set off it was 1 degree centigrade, but bright and sunny. My 50 mile outward journey consisted of 12 miles of B roads, 10 miles of dual carriageway and 28 miles of motorway on which I maxxed at 65mph, but averaged about 63mph. The heating was on both sides at 22.5 with a fan speed of 2. The radio was on at a moderate level. All speeds/settings exactly the same on the return trip, except that the heater didn’t work for some of the trip (just blowing cold air as is too often the frigging case since we’ve had the car!) and there was a snow flurry on the motorway for 15 minutes or so and the wipers were therefore on for that duration. Temperature was up to 4 degrees centigrade by then.
Then 20 miles or so from home, a red spanner appeared and stayed on the right hand side of the screen, accompanied by a “maintenance alert” warning and asking if we wanted to search for a nearby garage!
We get home and after travelling 98 actual miles the battery percentage had dropped to 43% and the guessometer had dropped from 327 miles to just 91 miles. (236 miles difference).
To really piss me off further, my son rang us up just after we got home to say that his wife was called into hospital for labour and could we rush over to look after their other child. They live 35 miles away! There’s no way that we could have risked that with the remaining charge in the car, so my wife had to borrow her brother’s car to get over there. We live in the countryside here in Northern Ireland and there is a slow charger (22 kwh I think) a few miles away and a fast charger in a petrol station about 25 miles away. Anyway, in the circumstances, my wife wasn’t going to stop off and try to connect up and charge a car for her very first attempt.
Not a good day!
I’m currently getting 1.7 mipkw so looking at a range of about 120-130 which is shocking.
Good news is I pick the Renault up today and having read the forum this morning one lady was complaining about only getting 235 miles in this cold snap so that is good. Most seem to be in or around 220, and that’s the magic number for me in winter. With 270 in summer. I don’t care if a car claims a range of 500 miles as long as I get 220 and 270 I’ll be happy.

That’s a shocking low figure you’re getting on the Pug, Des.
Yes, 220 miles would do me, but as it is, I’m buggered. I have a trip from Dublin airport next month. That’s 125 miles from me. So, I will have to stop to top up to 80% north of Dublin first, so that I have some juice for the trip back, but then that won’t get me home, so I will have to stop again in Newry or Armagh for another top up! So that’s 2 charging stops just to do a 240 mile trip!
I’m so disliking this car…
Delighted that you’re changing from the nightmare you’ve had mate. Sincere hopes and best wishes that you get great joy out of the Scenic. Let us know how you are loving it! We need a good news story!
Oh, I forgot to add to my post yesterday that after driving just 6 miles, my battery had used 8% … WTF?
Here’s a snap that my wife took after we set out…
Warmer today back up to 3 mile/kWh
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally say the wrong thing.
We have a Volvo xc40 plug-in hybrid and in summer we get 24/27 miles on a full charge. It was -7*C the other day and I got 9 miles from a full charge 😔
The only person who got all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe.
Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.We have a Volvo xc40 plug-in hybrid and in summer we get 24/27 miles on a full charge. It was -7*C the other day and I got 9 miles from a full charge
That is crazy bad, Brydo.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a granny charger 3 pin that I can plug in whilst I wait for Ohme?
I dont look at the mi/kw hr thingy, its a yoyo. But I did today and it was 2.7 something like that. Its pretty meaningless and variable. When the car gets to 40%, time to recharge!
Thats what ive started doing, just ignore it and drive it how i like, 9n my ioniq 5 n line s nothing seems to drop the estimated milage, not the cold weather, not the heaters or heated seats etc.. it always stays the same.
However i know its droping faster than it was when i got it on October 11th, i was getting 3 miles per 1 percent back then, now im getting 2 miles if im lucky, but it costs a few quid to charge so who cares, im preheatingand driving it as i would an ICE and enjoying the car, its fantastic.
However my experience of the ohme charger has completely annoyed me, after 5 weeks ohme still cannot make the charger go higher than 3kwh, ive called them at least 10 times on hold for hours then they cut you off and back on hold for hours again, then if you’re lucky enough to get through they open a ticket and escalate to technical team who then never come back to me and the ticket automatically closes.
Been repeating this process for weeks, they have no one to complain to, Motability have tried to help but they’ve been told they’re sorting it but it doesn’t get sorted, now they’re ignoring Motabilities emails too im told.
Its free electric tomorrow 7-9am on octopus and i could get much from it due to limited speed and half the time the schedule charge doesn’t work.
On top of that the ohme app cant connect to my ioniq 5 account just comes up error so i have no smart charging functionality.
Ohme are a disaster

Yes Declan really poor, I’m just back in from a motorway journey and got 18 miles from a full charge and the temperature is 0*C. Its amazing how lower temperatures really impact the range.

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.Thats not so good they have not fixed the charger yet.
Your App should still communicate though.
The Ohme app, try deleting the cache and data files on the app, then delete it. Reboot the phone (I have had that problem trying to get the phone to communicate with a pice of hardware and it works) and try installing the app again? Make sure you note your username password for the Ohme app, and it matches with the BlueLink details as well

Wow that is really bad, the worst we ever recorded with the Outlander PHEV 14 miles 10.5 kWh, the other day Suzuki Across worst figures 34 miles 13.4 kWh, yesterday 39 miles 10.9 kWh. todays 44 miles (will charge up tonight) estimate around 9.4 kWh

Did a run from N.Pembs to Swansea and back on Friday, swinging into Kwik Fit Carmarthen to have yet another puncture sorted on the way back! Mixture of A/B roads and DC, usual 60-65 on DC and averaged 3.7 m/kWh over the whole 100m round trip, never got above 6 degrees.
The eC4 does seem to handle cold weather quite well, having the heat exchanger definitely helps.
Megan E Tec usual same urban use is using 12% more energy this week but its not something that this home charging 6000 mile pa urban driver needs to care about
I do still wonder how they expect so many people to go over to EVs
Truth being if my use wasnt 99% urban and I couldnt home charge then there is no way I would have considered getting an EV
Imo these EV targets are as far fetched as their emission/immigration/housing/pot hole/school repair/nurses/doctors/targets
They cant even sort out a bit of cladding
Another rant over lol
Looking forward to real world range feedback
Once the EV3 hits the scheme as by all accounts its a class game changer
That car has caught my attention as everything about it suits my needs
20 month wait till I can swap mine in and by that time we should know a bit more about its suitability and if its as good as its claimed
I see that Motability are now sensibly starting to quote real world EV ranges in the car descriptions on their website. I’ll do a separate thread on this.
i got used to it with Groot (24kwh Leaf) Can i ask if you had frozen handles this morning? My wife couldn’t get in.
***apologies*** i quoted wrong post.. i was trying to reply to JMC’s post
I went to see a Megane 2024 Techno comfort trim with heat pump at dealers last week.
One of the most disappointing car experiences as i had high hopes the Megane would be my next car and i really like the external styling bar the over sized wheels.
I just did not like the cabin at all. Felt very dark and confined. The Reversing camera was very blurry so the salesman got out and cleaned it but still blury..but the killer was the display 48% battery /81 miles and temp was 7 degrees. Just not the car for me but genuinely a little shocked by battery. Of course you have to expect lower range but this seemed extreme to me.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a granny charger 3 pin that I can plug in whilst I wait for Ohme?
I’m looking at this one
Haven’t ordered it yet but it’s the best one I’ve found so far
