Maybe in Perthshire? Does anyone happen to know whether Plug & Charge works at Ionity Alnwick?

Mine was built 20 January and I have the noise.

I don't know about Tesla but I have owned a Mercedes B250e (BEV) and a BMW i3s for a total of five years and neither ever made such a crazy noise during charging as my Mach-e sometimes does. Since last summer the i3s has sat in front of the house in the blazing sun (new house, carport not...

Could you share the raw data (kW vs minutes and SoC) as a spreadsheet or CSV file? Then I would determine the kWh vs minutes and kWh vs SoC curves from that. I would also be interested in those curves.

Agree that when optimising overall travel time it often makes sense to stop DCFC at 80%. But I would like to have the option to fast-charge for longer. I don’t always optimise for minimum travel time. I might prefer fewer but longer stops, e. g. for shopping/dining/a conference call/…, even if...

New video from Car Maniac comparing the charging time, and some other aspects, of the BMW iX3 against the Mustang Mach-E and the Audi e-tron. Here is my English transcript: "You would like to know how fast the iX3 can charge? Especially in comparison with the Mustang Mach-E and the Audi...

Here you go. Chris has asked me to reiterate that the transcript and translation are mine. Clarifications and additions in square brackets are also mine. Enjoy reading. "Welcome to my video series on the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Here you can see it in the background, and you will find out...

On Sunday morning I created an English transcript of the video and requested Chris' (Car Maniac) permission to publish, which he gave yesterday. In the meantime all key messages from the video have been paraphrased in this thread and I don't want to spam you, but in case anyone would still like...

Found a comment by Chris in the comments section of his video that no interruptions occurred during his 900 km road trip. OK, it shouldn't really ever happen, but at least it wasn't a recurring thing. Might even have been a problem specific to that particular Ionity station. The videos of his...

Ionity chargers are mostly along the autobahn in Germany. At typical autobahn speed (say 80 mph) we are easily looking at a consumption of around 25 kWh/100 km (or more) including charging loss, and a correspondingly lower range.

This is for DCFC. Ionity is a consortium of Volkswagen/Audi/Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Ford and Hyundai. The German car makers offer their customers preferred rates of around 30c/kWh; Ford only in the first year :(. 30c/kWh is comparable to the price of household electricity. 79c/kWh is the rate...

Two other points from the video that haven't been mentioned: - The e-tron took noticeably longer to start the charging session. He found that annoying (but maybe just because it spoiled his attempt at synchronicity). - He says "the entire telematics and infotainment system is really superb in...
