Well that’s the Enyaq blown out the water then! Jeez what a hike. With a 1500 ap limit it’s currently looking between the Ariya and e-Vitara (which is an interesting addition and I’ve always been partial to the Vitara). Or maybe I’ll have to forego the intent to get something with better RW range than the e-C4 and stick in the same 50kW/h 160mile (achievable) ballpark, which in fairness hasn’t been a huge issue to date, I was just hoping for something higher and easier to get me and the toddler g’kid in and out of, a bit more luggage space and another 50m achievable range. Be interesting to see if any come down quite swiftly, changes over the first few weeks of a quarter do seem to be quite usual.
Same here, £1400 increase on 85x and the maxx pack removed so about £6 instead of £3500, nice.
EV6 removed too although it was pricey.
Only leaves Ioniq 5 from my shortlist and not sure if boot is big enough 🤔
August 26, 2025 at 10:59 pm in reply to: Electricity tariffs and setting up of EV home charging procedures #311828If you’re getting your charger through Motability It’ll probably be an Ohme charger. If so, you can lock the buttons so that nobody can just use your charger when you’re not there.
Tickety boo, thanks
August 26, 2025 at 10:57 pm in reply to: Electricity tariffs and setting up of EV home charging procedures #311827Hi I’m probably being very naive but totally new to this EV lark. Changing MB car soon and best options look like being an EV. ATM Enyaq, Ioniq 5 or EV6 are shortlist. This has probably been covered but 17 pages so asking anyway. Is the electric secure i.e can anyone plug in if we’re not there or can they unplug my car. We do have a camera / floodlight covering drive. Thanks
You need to set a schedule on the charger so it only works when you are charging. The car will lock the charging plug into the cars connector so it’s not easily removeable.
I see, all witchcraft and wizardry then. No armed guards required. Guessed it was possible, just wondered how.

Not looking at anything specific, possibly the 21″ wheels but seen it reduces range so not sure.
Also pan roof more likely but not at £1100 😀
Looked at 85x sportline in meteor grey today and pretty certain it’ll be my next MB car.
Just wondering if anyone had any experience of getting discount on options?
DumfriesDik and Kezo – thanks.
Quite happy to pay a bit to have it neat, only doing it once.
Would I need to arrange and sort that myself or would whoever does install do it and then charge me for what wasn’t included?
I ordered a Citroën c5 x and wanted pearlescent white which was £800, metallic was £600 so salesman said I’d have to pay the £200.
Upon collection the manager overruled and said nothing to pay.
I think the norm is to pay difference but some will work the system.
I had the thing with french cars but now my wife has a c5 aircross privately and I have a c5x on motability and I’m converted

The ev6 was high on my lust, but the issue I had with it and the same for three Enyaq Coupe, Ionic 5 and bnwi4 us that there is no rear wiper fitted. I found the ionic 5 suited my personal needs mire, bugger boot, lighter interior. My no1 is still the Enyaq suv 4×4 Sportline, again, suits my needs more. I am surprised that the ev6 AP isniw Mike’s away from the ionic5 and Enyaq
The Enyaq Coupe does have a rear wind screen wiper.
Not sure I would want the bugger boot ?
Strange, I’ve had 2 BMW’s, an Audi, Seat and now a Citroën and have had mats provided in all 5. Front and rear.

It caught my eye a while back and now AWD ultimate is available I would have been very tempted if test drive went well nut unfortunately I bit the bullet after nearly 4 years on last car and in May I picked up a c5x shine plus and really happy with it so until Feb 26 I can but watch.
AWD Ioniq 5 ultimate looks very tempting, shame I succumbed and changed in May
Thanks for all the updates, is the search tool behaving?
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year one and all.
Just waiting for grand monsters to arrive and have house destroyed ? ?
Please just connect your phone to your car …it really is a simple operation. Boils my piss when i see drivers using mobile phones while driving.
Not wanting to sistract the seriousness of your comment but, “Boils my piss” ?? Anyway have a good Christmas.
Never heard that expression before but you’re bang on MickC. Roasts my poo ? ?
I got my Citroën in May from dealer in King’s Lynn having been told after I ordered in November that they would be closing and moving things to Norwich branch, he said he expected before too long there’d probably only be about 3 dealerships across East Anglia.
It’s a bit of a nuisance for servicing and repairs because I now have to go about 50 miles as opposed to 9
Expert my @r$e! In no particular order (personal choice) Hyundai ioniq 5 or 6 Kia EV6 Renault megane New Kona Audi Q4 Skoda Enyak BMW ix1 Nissan Ariya Maybe Atto 3 and MG ZS
So what defines a motability expert? Is there an NVQ I’m motabilityness ?

I regularly check my screen wash especially in this weather, I always carry some spare fluid in the boot just in case.
</p>
I do now Oscarmax ?Along similar line, the screenwash on my C5x ran out with no warning. Posted on a C5x forum and apparently no sensor fitted and this is now quite a common practice. If it is I think it’s ridiculous as running out can be bl00dy dangerous.
Anyone else had this?
It amazes me how people walk behind parked cars especially in supermarket car parks when there are perfectly good walkways provided.
I do wonder what’s happened to the Darwin Principle 😕
