For those who’ve been informed of the new lower rates for Intelligent, were you already on it? I’m on a GO tariff expiring in 3 weeks and Octopus keep pushing Intelligent but with day rates far in excess of what you’re being quoted. Their CS reps don’t seem to know anything about it either so at...
Assuming you’ve set up the charging service with Porsche, plug and charge should still work at places like Ionity and Porsche themselves so giving you the discounted rate. Just need to ensure it’s selected on in the PCM in the car itself and it should be as simple as it sounds. Enjoy!
We did it last year (admittedly in an ICE Aston) but one of our companions did it in a BMW i4. Not a lot up there by way of speed for chargers but they managed by leaving it in various town centres for a few hours each day. Pretty sure they got a ChargePlace Scotland card for the trip too. Long...
Of late I’ve exclusively charged the car at IONITY (probably for the last 12k miles out of 27k covered) so I’m definitely testing the battery life wrt to repeated high speed charges. As of now I’ve noticed no particular change in capacity etc - also often take it to 99%. As noted, it’s got a...
I use Baldock and Cringleford multiple times a week and the P and C works a treat at both. Baldock is markedly slower than Cringleford (the latter always gives me 250kw plus at the start, whereas Baldock only ever seems to give a max of 150kw - first world problems, I know!).
My wife has had one (La Prima hatch) for a year now and it’s an absolute gem. Chock-full of character and beats the Taycan hands down around town. Surprisingly well screwed together too bar the charging port door that loves to stick closed, especially in the winter.
Perfect compliment to the...
Sadly the daytime rate wipes out any saving we might have made when our Octopus GO tariff ends in July. Looks like OVO Drive anytime for us going forward. Real shame as Octopus have been excellent from a customer service POV. That said being on their tracker tariff for gas has been a real...
Hiya,
I still think I was remarkably fortunate. I ordered mine in May 2021 and it arrived at the end of October that year. It has been suggested that if you really spec them up, they may be prioritised. I can’t speak to that with any authority but mine certainly did arrive quickly in comparison...
I’ve used Skelton Lakes Ionity and Gridserve Wetherby numerous times on the way up to Harrogate to see family a lot this year. Skelton Lakes can be very busy and, for a while, had a few offline or dispensing a charge for free but, consequently, at a much slower rate. Never had a particularly...
