While the OVO Anytime price is competitive with that from other providers, only Eon Next Drive is lower in my region, it is an add on to any other OVO tariff and I couldn’t find a way to find unit prices for those. I can get a quote based on usage but what I want to do is compare the standing charge and per kwh for each OVO tariff with that of my Octopus IOG tariff. Eon Next Drive for example is 6.7 per KWH for EV charging where IOG is 7p KWH, but the unit charge for other usage is higher than IOG . I use more energy for other things than I do for charging so on balance Octopus IOG is still lower total cost.
Yep, have tried that each tme I have the problem. Sometimes it works, today it didn’t. The bizzarre thing is that If I adjust settings on the charger I can see this reflected on the app, and if I change a charger settign from the app such as locking and unlocking buttons, or switching on and off the approvale required setting this works, but the app seems to be incapable of initiating a charge, whether max or smart.
Hi all: for the last 2 or 3 weeks I’ve been having a problem with my OHME app not being able to communicate with my charger. In the app the charger appears to be online, I set a schedule and then plug the car in. The app prompts me to approve which I do, it then goes in to a loop of calculating, approval required, calculating, approval required. After 3 or 4 cycles I get a charger offline message. However I can set a schedule from the charger itself which works. Has anyone else had this or have any suggestions of things to try while I wait for OHME to reply to my ticket? I’ve done a charger power cycle leaving it off for 15 minutes which made no difference. Charger firmware appears to be up to date. If it were a one off I might accept the support pages suggestion that it could be poor 4g service in my area but this has been happening every time I charge for the last 3 weeks or so and none of my other devices have had 4g coverage problems.
Touran and Tayron which are not related. The naming department been have been on holiday that week. I’ve had both the Touran and the predecessor of the Teyron, the Tiguan All-space and much preferred the former although it isn’t a good option nowadays. the AP has more than doubled but the spec barely changed at all. The All-space needed the extra boot space to carry the oil it guzzled. It had a new gearbox to try to fix oil consumption but it didn’t help. The Satnav would have been fine if you could have put it in the car 50 yards ahead and asked them to relay instruction back but we had to make do with going 3 times around every roundabout.
Thanks all. Had done it via the Ohme app when plugged in but have now found how to switch on manually or schedule a plan when not plugged in from the MySkoda appx.
Hi all: does the car have to be plugged in for me to warm the cabin before a planned journey? Also, just for interest , due to an operation my other half / driver hasn’t been able to drive for the last 6 weeks, in that time the Enyaq lost 1% of it’s charge which is pretty impressive considering a few nights of sub-zero within that.
Would be nice if for 1 of these refreshes they put some thought in to accessibility and usability given who their audience is, for example by minimising the number of clicks required to configure a search. #pipedream
The paddles work counter intuitively, you have to use the minus to increase regen and plus to decrease it. When you brake the green/blue line thingie on the display gets more blue and less green to show that you are recovering energy. If you incrase the energy recovery with the minus flapper you will find that with the same degree of braking you get more blue, and that the car feels like it is braking more harshly than it was previously for the amount of pressure you applied.
Hello, I have Intelligent Octopus Go and have just signed up to Electroverse, I see that IOG custoemrs get an 8% discount on some networks but does anyone know if this is true regardless of Electroverse payment method , or is it only if you have your charge cost added to your Octopus energy bill?
Not an alternative to getting issues resolved but if you have problems with doors and need to access the vehicle remember that you do have the old fashioned option of a physical key, emergency key. See how in this Key and remote of the Skoda ENYAQ, way more than you think. See all features here! [EN] (youtube.com)
@Ricardohx4 I can confirm that the Enyaq IV does have a powered tailgate which can be opened with a swipe of the foot or by press and hold the button on the key, or from the driving seat using a lever. Can be closed from the button on the tailgate, or the button on the key, or the drivers lever . Also has heated front seats and steering wheel, electricly adjustable drivers seat, adaptive cruise control, drive assist and plenty of other toys without the need to buy any extras or packs. All are on the IV 85 Edition I collected 2 weeks ago, no packs. I’m also pleasantly surpirsed that you can do lots of the things that are a fiddle with the touch screen by asking the Skoda voice assistant (OK Laura) including heated seats on, set cabin temperature, change radio channel, set navigation destination, etc.
Picked up our IV 85 yesterday, only done 25 miles so far and range still showing over 400, which clearly is nonsense and will sort itself out. Things I have learned so far are: 1. my dealer has moved since I placed the order but luckily not too far away as old car running on fumes for the hand back! 2. you can both open and close the boot with the key fob (press and hold to close) which is handy for anyone who can’t reach up to the button. 3. If the charge cable gets locked in release by double clicking the unlock button on the fob, no need for the emergency release in the car. Something I haven’t sorted yet which is annoying is adding the vehicle to the My Skoda ap. My dealer didn’t do this for me and following instructions online when in the car and adding a user it never gets as far as a QR code. I’ve connected to home WI-FI to ensure a good connection and that doesn’t solve it. Any suggestions? I done the remove and reinstall app but as I’m not getting as far as haivng a QR to scan am not surprised that has made no difference. Worst case I’ll take it back to the dealer for them to sort it.
Looks like you got the last set 🙁 now out of stock. Have my ‘back in stock’ reminder set . If they don’t appear might be asking to borrow yours. You won’t mind if they come back sprayed silver right?
Mine supposedly being built this week, ordered 25 Nov . 85 edition Suite with no extras. Delivery expected in around a month, if it materialises at all. Shame as burning fuel ferrying kids to Uni at opposite ends of the country various times over the summer.
ordered 25 Nov and just had build slot confirmed for week 31 (week beginning 29 July). 85 edition no extras. Dealer reckons that means I get it late Aug / early Sept.
Don’t think it is the x which causes the delay. Order an 85 edition, no X, on 25 November and still no confirmed build date.
My dealer called me earlier in the week to say that my assigned build date which had been changed from week 22 to week 18 3 weeks ago has moved back to week 22 again. Oh well, nothing you can do but wait. Of course though I took the opportunity to ask him to cancel and replace the order to give me the lower AP, which he has already done oncewhen the AP dropped last quarter . He was a bit reluctant explaining that Motability specifically tell dealers that they are not allowed to do this and that if they do, they must also cancel the factor order and, if the customer still wants the same vehicle, place a new one. WE left it that he would discuss it with his manager. A couple hours later I got a call to say it was done, and without deleting the factory order. It is at best unfair and at worst incompetent of Motability to be so inconsistent in their messaging which leads to only those with the awareness of how the system works and the confidence to challenge benefiting from that sloppiness. It has saved me £900 since I ordered the car but not everyone will be so fortunate.
If you are in the west Mids you may well get Charge Dev to do your install. They were excellent when they did ours a couple of months ago. The only thing I could fault and this was OHME rather than charge Dev, was being in a hurry to do the job. Having ordered in late Nov but not expecting the car until May I tried to put them off but was bombarded with emails and phone calls. I gave up and did the survey over Christmas, got call from Charge dev a couple of days later to arrange a date. I chose the furthest out date they were prepared to offer me and had the install in early Feb, so, 6 weeks with me deliberately dragging my feet.
Wonder if they’ve solved the problem of the satnav wanting to go via Paris on every journey. Our 5008 9 or 10 years ago was the worst satnav we’ve had by far.
Something that makes my life easier is the warning ‘alarm’ which sounds when the tailgate is being opened by the driver from within the car. As I’m blind it means that if my wife is picking me up from somewhere she can pop the tailgate when she sees me approaching, I know where the car is and the boot is open ready for the guidedog to hop in to. Any car that lets you open the boot from within the car has to have the alarm so that a passing pedestrian doesn’t get taken out as they cross behind your car but not all models have the option of being able to open the boot remotely and dealers don’t seem to even know it’s a thing let alone which specs have it. Our Touran did whihc is how we discovered it so when we replaced it that was 1 of the things on the wish list. We ended up with a Tiguan and the VW configurator would have you believe that you have to add remote tailgate opening as an extra on top of power closing . After a bit of VW forum reading i took a punt on VW not bothering to programme 1 without the other and paid for opening only. It was a good call, we can open the boot from the key fob and the dash and are £350 better off than if I were more trusting.
As with everything else Motability the information you get depends on the experience and training of your sales person. Even Motability can’t give the same answer to a question asked twice so no wonder showroom staff can’t either. My salesman told me that they can honour the new AP if it has dropped because the resale price of the car has dropped, but not if the resale price of the car hasn’t changed. I don’t believe that for a minute as We all know that the AP isn’t linked to the resale price of the vehicle. I’ve had 4 Motability cars and on 2 of those occasions when it has been time to collect the car the dealer has asked me for the AP at the time of collection without any consideration of the fact that the AP on the paperwork is what it was at the time of ordering . As it was lower I didn’t question it. It’s also true that each car I’ve had has had a higher spec and retale price than the previous but the AP I have paid has been lower . Seat Alhambra £2k, Peugeot 5008 £1,600, VW Touran, £1,500, VW Tiguan allspace £1,350 . Next car is an Enyaq with AP of £900, it was a bargain with an AP of £1,300 when I ordered it and I’ve had it at that price if my dealer had refused to resubmit the Motability paperwork but I’d had been a fool not to ask.
Collect it when you are ready and not before. No reason why you should be out of pocket just because it got here sooner than expected, an if you’re up for it tell the dealer that you’ll cancel and re-order to get it at the lower AP, they might change their mind. My dealer did it all be it a little reluctantly but there is nothing lost for them so it worth insisting.
I ordered 25 November, estate 85 edition. 2 weeks ago dealer said the factory was showing estimated build week 22. Had a call on Monday to say estimated week 17 so it does move around. Dealer said that at some point it changes to a confirmed build week, until then it can move in either direction.
You don’t pay any more, i.e. you don’t pay anything, to have the 8M tethered home pro. We had ours installed 2 weeks ago with the 8M cable.
