I remember taking a type 2 owner out in the Disco and him being excited about seeing the roof of a T5.

That's one of the things that appeals about the ID Buzz, what I perceive to be a nice high driving position.

Id venture out to say its louder looking than an urus/other super car type.
Shock horror disgust admiration who knows..perhaps its a process in that order.

Just clocked you parked outside the shops at Sheddens - have to say it looks impressive in white - particularly when you can’t see the fugly front end

Haha...That'll be the Mrs getting her nails done....I'm in the no2 spewer today.

KRS_SN · 07-05-2023, 04:51 PM

Opened the boot/brunk

Exhibit 1 granny charger I know this.

Exhibit 2 what is this?

Exhibit 3 again what is this?

Exhibit 4 I plugged in to the pod point charger at David lloyds today(free!) The pod point app asked me to confirm charging and I said so.
Off I went but the car didn't charge when I returned after 90 min of spa. The tesla y next to me was charging as the 'T' indicator was blinking green. So a flop attempt. I'm so glad I Have a home charger though that's 10kw at 30p I lost. What am I doing wrong

Exhibit 5 is an extra number plate. Why do I need one?
The airpump and patching kit I understand as not Runflats.

Difficult to see clearly on the photo's, is number 2 a UK mains lead for the granny charger? They often have plug in leads so the manufacturer can make one charger for all markets then just supply leads for different style plugs such as UK/EU/US etc.

saltyamigo · 07-06-2023, 02:48 AM

Not sure what 3 is but it's obviously another charging item with the type 2 plug. Can you take a clear photo of the label?

That was my exact thought.

Picture 3 looks like the other element; the bit 2 plugs into which then goes to the Type II on the car. However then what is 1?

Better pictures would likely provide a clearer explanation.

JustChris · 07-06-2023, 03:19 AM

1. Granny
2. Dodgy Foreign Plug adaptor for Granny
3. Not sure, is the BMW granny charger multiple bits??
4. CCS cable for untethered charging on the road.

Could do with seeing the plug ends on some of these.

KRS_SN · 07-06-2023, 03:25 AM

Sorry...Clearer pictures of 2 and 3 attached

saltyamigo · 07-06-2023, 03:59 AM

Going by those pictures I think you have 2 chargers, number 1 is a standard granny charger for a 3 pin UK socket in conjunction with cable from photo 2. Number 4 is 16A so will be slightly faster and need a beefier supply as it's too much for a normal 13A socket, also looks like its wall mountable for a more permanent setup. Number 4 charger is 3 phase as well as single phase so would allow quicker charging if you had that facility, although not many domestic setups will have that.

saltyamigo · 07-06-2023, 04:05 AM

To add, number 4 would normally need a commando socket or some sort of hardwiring. It also appears to be waterproof so maybe for campsite use?

saltyamigo · 07-06-2023, 04:13 AM

Were you supplied with any cables with plugs like this?

Thank you. It makes sense now. I dont have that plug the photo of which you have attached.

Does 2 not connect to 1/3?

JustChris · 07-06-2023, 07:28 AM

Who Dunnit.

It was Mrs KRS with the Commando Socket in the Garage?

KRS_SN · 07-07-2023, 08:20 AM

Visit to costco. Not missing the £120 fill ups every week. Still haven't been switched to octopus go but at roughly 20kwh use daily 30p per kwh is £42 so still better by nearly £80 odd quid weekly.

Commando Socket sounds like the name of an LGBTQ++ Highland supersoldier

KRS_SN · 07-07-2023, 06:52 PM

2 weeks since switching to octopus
And 10 days since purchase of an EV
Multiple daily attempts at switching to octopus intelligent each time app would crash. I thought..early days teething trouble..let's keep paying 30p.per kwh but Internet again is my saviour
My crime. I'm an android user. May help anyone on the android interface.

Seems like the new version of the app on play store is the problem. New app on iphone doesn't reportedly have that issue. So I had to uninstall and install an older version of android perhaps the one you had to get it to test charge.

KRS_SN · 07-08-2023, 09:48 AM

This car is getting noticed.
Ennoch did you know LORRIE looked right into my eyes and gave me a smile. It has her sign of approval
Drove through older bits of Clarkson and pensioners going for their messages.
One looked at me squinted his eyes and blew his cheeks. Another simply shook his head from side to side.
