New car handover charge

[mokey]

Can I please ask when picking up new vehicles what % charge did you get at handover ?

 

[Mihir]

Depends on the dealer. They normally charge it to 100%. You could also request them to do so couple of days before picking up if thats what you want.

 

[Susanna]

Mine was at 99%

75% ish IIRC

Usually they charge it to 100% on arrival to them and what you get is what's remaining after it has been moved about their premises for checks and valeting

I got mine at 100%.
Not all dealers will leave it at 100% which may be a good thing as the battery shouldn't sit fully charged

100% from JustEV's.

I picked up my MG5 in March this year and memories fade...

If your picking it up it ain't gonna be sitting there?

That's if they charge it the same day or a day or two beforehand.

Any imagine it would be any other way ??‍

Like not MOTing until a car is sold, or fixing anything that needs fixing unless a sale depends on it etc etc

It would have to be left at 100% for a couple of weeks for it to be a potential problem. I suspect most dealers would rather not have it on the premises for that long.

Some dealers are seriously limited for charging capacity. I can see why many are going out 90-95% - it was fully charged for pdi but has then been shuffled around/Road tested and not back on a charger for top-off
