timbo – I’ve updated your delivery date (sorry to have to drop you down the table!).
jit187 – I’ve added your photo to the table. I like the ‘EV’ bit of the registration – did you get a choice of registrations and you chose that one? I didn’t get an option with mine.
@ Appmacguy
yes i am the first car Renault Leicester have pushed through the door!
one of the chargers at LFE (northbound) has a problem and is not rapid charging only fast charging. logged a call with ecotricity and they are sending an engineer out. i will test it again later today or tomorrow. the rapid charger on the other side (southbound) works fine! (plus there is a KFC there, so nothing like a zinger tower while my car chargers up!) lol
@ trevor,
yes i got a massive choice of regs… but i did make it clear to the dealer that i always wanted a choice of reg from beginning. not sure if this is standard practice but i think it just depends on the sales person as its internal hassle for them!
I rang my dealer today as his last communication told me he was expecting it today, and lo and behold, it has actually turned up at last.
I’m not overly fussed about the registration so I’m not waiting for Sept 1st, and will pick it up next Wednesday, 21st August (I think they still have to fit the armrest and stuff).
I also said that I wanted a list of registrations to choose from, so they’re apparently going to give me the choices on Monday. I think it does depend on the dealer; our local Vauxhall dealer always had a book with a load of reg numbers written in it, and customers could choose- our Citroen dealer just said that they have no pre-assigned batch and they just get what they’re given.
Emma at Renault Leicester has confirmed they have my Zoe and she looks fab in Neptune Grey. As I am happy to wait for the 63 plate, but not fussed about it spelling anything (EVie) as I am calling her has been assigned ‘FJ63 FWF’.
I feel like my EV journey is now happening and becoming reality! I have ordered my Plugged in Midlands (PiM), Ecotricity cards and await the Polar one that comes with the home charging unit.
jit187, those are the same chargers I mention in my post today.
[Updates to table: Steamrunner’s new delivery date, added John Ross]
All,
i re-tested the rapid charger at LFE northbound and its still not working.
what you can do is use the service road near the services m1 exit slip road to access the other side of the services to use the rapid charger there. that works fine.
ecotricity said they sent an engineer out to test it and all their tests said it was working fine… they are now sending an engineer with a zoe to re-test it.
ZOE Intens Black 17″ Wheels, Ordered 22nd May Delivery date was 8th August I was then told it was delayed but only 1 week so should be at the dealers 15th August, I am now being told there was problem with wheels ???? and its likely to arrive 22 September and as I am out of the country doesn’t look like I will see the car until October… Not very happy, as the hasn’t been a real reason given for the delays that I can find.
spyder, welcome – I’ve added you to the table. Note, it has been mentioned a couple of times on the forum that all 17″ deliveries have big delays. I don’t think the reason is known.
Mine will be only delivered sometime in November, I was told today. Initally they said it will be end of September. I was eager to get it. Now I am kind of resigned that it will be sometime in January before it eventually delivered. Damn.
