Re: Ongoing 12v battery problem

Just to share my expeience, I've had my car for just over two years (since September 2020) and the 12v battery is still okay (so far!). As I've retired I don't have a daily commute, and I've only covered just over 4,000 miles in those two years. Typically I would use the car a minimum of 4 times a w...

Re: Funny ad with Honda E

Trying to figure out why? Because laying a cable across the pavement would be a trip hazard (and likely damage the expensive cable when people, cyclists, wheelchair users, etc. run over the cable). It's strange to our eyes to see a Honda e without a bonnet charge lid, and for the charge cable to be...

Re: Hi all

As I posted in the 80% or 100% Re: Charging the battery discussion, this is what Volkswagen say in their Owner's Manual for the ID.3 concerning good maintenance of the battery pack (taken from the YouTube video referenced earlier in that discussion): It is relatively easy to maintain your high volta...

Re: Bidirectional charging

One of the reasons I purchased my e over another make/model was the possibility of V2G, however my hopes of this becoming reality have long since faded away. I thought that the second generation Nissan LEAF (40kWh) that became available in the UK in March/April 2018 was the first car that was V2G r...

Re: Quick Plug-in charging system problem

Yes, it's probably a software problem in the charger. It reminds me of a problem I had with my POD Point home charge point. Before the Honda e I had a Nissan LEAF 40kWh. It used to charge with no problems, but then it started terminating the charging after about 30 miuntes of charging, which was rat...

Re: 12v auxiliary battery charging

A quick bump on this topic please. I'm collecting my E next week and I've been in the habit of keeping the 12V on my current EV topped up in situ by using a Ctek 5.0 charger. I'd like to do the same with my E but am wondering where people are attaching the Negative clip of their chargers? Any advic...

Re: Warrantee Claims

Currently I'm without the car (11 days so far) while the dealer and Honda technicians are investigsting why the car won't charge the battery pack (neither AC nor DC charging). This was following my last charge when for some reason it tripped my Pod Point charge point when the car had reached 99% SO...

Re: Warrantee Claims

I've had the driver's door handle replaced under warranty (due to a problem with the window not closing properly). Currently I'm without the car (11 days so far) while the dealer and Honda technicians are investigsting why the car won't charge the battery pack (neither AC nor DC charging). This was ...
