Cant help much as there are

So many individual unknown factors involved

The charge will reflect the extra work needed

cable length/holes to be drilled/labour hrs

Not much help Im afraid

Not a car I would consider due to its spec/ap/build quality/ride comfort Predict the AP to drop 30/50% wiithin the next 6 months just as the E Tec has done

[Ele]

E-Power N-Connecta is available and is the same size as the Tekna or was it a case of the spec?

Just to add imo the E Power should be no more than £2600 AP and Im sure it will have to reduce to such within the next 2 quarters

Time will tell

Educated Guess

Hang in there

It should not be to long

On pick up ask if Alarm issue has been updated

Should have thought it would have been by now

[Ele]

Yet another benefit of leasing on motorbility

You can do your sums from day 1 and not be concerned about how much it may or may not sell for

[Ele]

@PETER

Its about us having confidence in the people that maintain our leased vehicles

So we can rest easy in the knowledge that we are driving a safe vehicle

[Ele]

Food for thought
And will be taking a closer look,thanks for the detail most helpful

My mileage is only 6500 a year so not to many hrs of charge

I see at the moment the Octopus Intelligent tariff. rate for my area is as follows

Unit rate (23:30 – 00:00):

7.50p/ kWh
Unit rate (05:30 – 23:30)  :41.11p/ kWh
Standing Charge: 47.95p/ day

Will look again on 1/07/2023

In the past I have found

A Motorbility letter will simply show you have not claimed on their scheme

it may not be recognised by all insurers as having accrued NCB in the normal way

This may hinder you when trying to achieve the cheapest quote

Maybe others can give you more up to date info

 

[Ele]

Very detailed

Food for thought

thanks 4 sharing

[Ele]

Cheers for the info Rico

Looks like there will be plenty to play about with

Perso setting will be handy as I can set up things to suit me

And the FAV button will also make life easier

Few months to wait yet

but doing a little homework now in preparation

wont hurt

 

[Ele]

Cheers Rico

thanks for explaining

Just maps needed so thata handy

 

[Ele]

Quick delivery .. Nice… Hope u post some pics later

That option wasnt open to me as my order was placed 3 months before the end of my lease as I wanted to jump on this the day after the Megan E Tec price drop

So Factory order it was

Just to add so far my experience with Renault dealership is a positive one

First impressions count and the way I was spoken to/dealt with has been spot on.

There was a little initial confusion over the free paints available but I understand and appreciate why that happened

The uncluttered showroom layout their dress code/cant do enough attitude/coffee machine and comfortable seats all go together making any showroom visit a pleasure.

Poor past experiences with Seat and vauxhall dealers are now just a thing of the past.

This new pensioner 30 something cars later

is now

Looking forward to the age of electric

What did Buzz Lightyear say lol

 

 

[Ele]

Seems a Faff that I have had to have so much trouble at stage 1

just getting my landlords permission for my charger install

I live in a city and was left with the impression that I was the first to seek such a thing ( there is no direct line of communication just confusion as everything is done through a 3rd party switch board

Badly managed and zero excuse imo

Fortunately I had previously amassed  a few contacts whilst undertaking ( during covid lock down )an 18 month quest/securing/completing ( another untold story lol ) Disabled facilities Grant application for the installation of a double brick paved driveway.

Driveway has been a god send as it now allows me to be able to go forward and get a home electric charger installed

My tone is not one of complaint as I am very grateful for all I have

I am simply telling my tale to show some others that what may seem like a mountain can be overcome with a little tenacity

My Guess is

Thats something that many on here already relate too.

 

 

 

 

 

[Ele]

Think I will delve deeper

Thanks for the heads up

[Ele]

Sorted at last ( fingers crossed)

Like a dog with a bone I have been attacking this ALL day

Stage 1 of 3 supplier B/Gas doing their bit this Mon

Then I have to set up a DNO visit

Then easy part getting installer on site

It was only because I was given B/Gas complaints email that I was able to be listened to

thanks to those of you on here and also

Great customer care from Easee and also @wepoweryourcar

What a faff

There needs to be a better way its not the 1930s lol

Cheers understood and many thanks

{Looking in detail, your DNO will change the fuse, your supplier is responsible for upgrading the tails.]

You are indeed correct and this is the first time anyone has told me this

Ordinarily this would now be a simple process but the plan falls short simply because I have no way of communicating and addressing my concerns with my supplier B/G

3 drawn out attemps to resolve via India is enough for me

Polite people for sure but they do not have resolution training

Head spinning and back to 3rd phone call to my Easee charger installer

(They may have a solution and one for others to note)

Been advised by Easee as followers

Taking into account my energy suppliers failure to facilitate a reasonable line of communication they will contact Motorbility explain my dilema and ask if the Motorbility contingency fund ( which exists to fund/help with additional charger installation costs ) can be used to cover the cost of their installer taking on the work that B/S would need to have done.

Leaving it with Easee for now and see what pans out over the next week

Just to add reliable PAYG metre is quite the norm when installing a charger and will soon be no dearer than direct debit

My low mileage dosent warrant a Smart metre and off peak tariffs

If it aint broke

Thanks for the explanations as its helped no end

Will update asap

Hi

My elec bill is with British Gas who has a call centre in India

The load check print out this morning was conducted by a firm called Haste in Petersfield ( been in touch cant help)

They are contractors to load test by DNO Scottish and southern

Been in touch with them and cant help as I do not have a direct account with them

I am still in a catch 22 situation

Looking like a granny lead at this rate

[Ele]

No granny lead supplied

They are good as in they will slow charge

Have not used one but heard

May pay to use when supply is not too loaded

If using I would personally only use when attended and awake

Belt n Braces imo but each to their own

Im sure others will throw more light on the subject

 

[Ele]

Black imo suits the gold blade more so than any of the other colours

Reminds me of John Player F1 of old

[Ele]

I had no difficulty getting in/out of the Megan E Tec and thats with all 5 lumbar discs severely degenerated

Megans Seat pumps up/down quite some distance just make sure its set low enough before sitting

The E Tec is so much easier to get in/out of as its 100mm taller than my Corsa F

I wont miss the Corsa F windscreen and having to pull up 8ft short of traffic lights just to be able to see when they have changed lol

But will miss its abilities on the B roads

Update on my last post above

Thanks to the heads up on here

I now have an updated order of free paint ceramic grey/black roof

Whilst there I looked at the Austral Petrol-electric hybrid 1.2

First impression/closer inspection its not full electric/very big/ as is its boot nice looking but far to big for my needs

Was told that the usual ( more expensive than usual E Tec price )paint option are at the moment being offered for free

Seems the paint options on the E Tec are not fully understood by the dealer who in all fairness is dealing with models that are renamed/spec options that change overnight.

Renault seems to be now getting it right at the right time imo

 

 

 

 

 

[Ele]

Cheers for the reply appreciated

Will get in touch tomorrow not sure how this will affect original order time scale
