          😳 that sounds.. exciting! I do hope it’s not something that breaks when it rains though.

            Ford usually willing to do a deal but I doubt they’d call it that

            Fortune favours the cheeky. Good luck

              I think Morgan is the only British company left.

              Apparently they don’t plan on joining the scheme this side of the revolution and also “please stop calling us sir” πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

                  If you get no joy off motability customer team go to the CEO explaining your situation andrewmiller@motabilityoperations.co.uk

                  Came here to say this! I don’t take issue with the droids who answer the questions, but they’re repeating the company line. Might require some lateral thinking

                    That’s the sort of nerdy detail I was hoping for 🀭 thank you.

                    This isn’t something I’m considering, merely that I’ve had excitement trying to plug the wrong socket into the wrong hole before!

                    Honestly the site has several of these sockets but they’re mostly 16A I think with only a few rare 32A sockets that I can plug in to.

                    The more you know πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Š thank you sir

                      As an aside @kezo, the local farm has two different connectors for 32A and what I think is 16A.

                      I understand that the cables don’t have to be as chunky but it confuses me why the connectors would be different πŸ€” the sparks are good at switching the breakers on but weren’t able to explain it to me πŸ™‚

                            The answer to all four questions is β€˜yes’, as long as the other person(s) driving are named drivers for your current car.

                            YES but in capital letters

                                The 58 kWh is the capacity of the battery which is what gives you the range. The 159 kw is the power output of the motor (in this case VC around 231 BHP)

                                I think the charging speed of the 58kWh battery is 125kW

                                So even if you plug in to a 500kW charger, you’ll get 125kW max .. peak .. on a good day, if the battery is warm.

                                I do wish they’d tell people this, it’s important – as long as you’re not paying extra for the more speed though πŸ™‚

                                But don’t let the nerdiness discourage you from the fun pedal!

                                  Happy new car day! To anyone reading this though, the charging speed is limited by your car and not the charger.

                                  I know this isn’t you @Footloose (yours is .. 175 right?) but seems to be largely unknown and it might save folk a few pennies

                                    BYD told me about a month or 2 ago that they have no plans at all to put it on the scheme, shame really as many people would order it. Hopefully they change their mind.

                                    They never do, until they do πŸ™‚

                                        Seriously though I reckon a later version of a Golf Mk7.5 is the way to go.
