Chargers in 30 mins WOW I would love to see that :0
The rapid at Medowhell is always broken the guy with the Telsa who lives on it must have some thing to do with it 🙁
Happy days 🙂
The untrimmed inner boot lip had been bothering me ever since I collected my Zoe back in November (it was bound to end up getting scratched sooner or later), so this morning I had a matt black vinyl wrap applied to protect it, for the princely sum of £45. They did a pretty good job. Now, why couldn’t Renault have done that at the factory…
Harry – if you’ve definitely got the Rapid Zoe – that’s the older engine, it should be capable of charging at 43kW. If you can find a rapid charger near you, then it’s kindof a theoretical 30 mins to full – your 22kWh battery, at 43kW would be roughly 30 mins. But it’s slower at the end, so that 30 min quote, across manufacturers, is usually quoted to get you to 80%, not 100. Cold weather, hot batteriesand some other variables will also affect charge speed.
Don’t have dab on your stereo? Think again!!!
Bluetooth connection to your phone does a lot more than just stream your personal music collection.
Fire Up Radio player (android) For dab channels or Deezer, Spotify whatever you like. Just tell rlink to go to bluetooth and then play any app you choose.
Need a good data plan for that, Sandy. I use iPlayer Radio to download stuff (full programmes now, not just podcasts) so I’m not using data. And a pocket DAB radio plugged into the Aux port, which is a far better option for me than the bodge that Renault charge a lot of money for!
I have a pocket dab too but reception is often poor where I am.
Another nice feature of the radio player app is you can use the scroll button on the radio stalk to switch channels too.
AnonymousHi, I have just found this forum and want to ask a question on charging. Mine take ages to charge from 99% to 100% and recently I have left it over-night and charging has cut off, however car registers 94%.
A couple of times I have charged to 99% and then started car and it registers 94%. The other day it did charge fully, so it seems rather random.
The car isn’t losing charge generally, so it just seems to be difficult to fully charge. Any ideas?Thanks Paul
Hi Paul & Welcome,
Yeah from 99% to 100% can take a long time as batteries are balancing cells during that period, sometimes much longer than others.
Was it after very cold night’s you saw the 94%? as others have seen that too. Do you charge while batteries are still warm or in the early hours?
Anonymouslast night wasn’t cold and I disconnected around 21:00 at 99%. This morning 94% which is the same as when I have left it charging overnight and the auto-disconnect has switched off the charging. Its only charged to 100% once in the last few weeks to my knowledge and obviously we had low temperatures then.
This seems pretty normal to me… When it’s cold, the battery can’t be charged as much (capacity effectively shrinks) so what’s 100% in the middle of the night is less than 100% in the morning as it starts warming up.
I have my car charge around 1am-4am and when it’s cold I always get emails when my pre-heat starts (because the car is woken up) saying that started charging again (at around 95%) and tops up to 100% during the preheat. Doesn’t happen when it’s not really cold.
If you want to make sure it’s at 100% at the time you leave, setting the pre-heater should do the job.
