Yes. Same as Tesla or Ionity membership. Easy.

Unfortunately the way the world is currently going I suspect that could be the majority.

These things never happen until they happen. First time in my EV life the boot hadn't shut properly and overnight drained the 12v. Had the booster in the frunk thankfully.

Fascinating. I know comparatively little technically about how hybrids work so followed your lead and did a tiny bit of digging. It appears they do have a dedicated 12v but it is contained within the HV battery assembly itself. It has a reset button usually near the fuse box, the equivalent of...

Same applies.

Perhaps instead of calling it 'member of the month' it should be the 'profuse poster of the month'. Maybe not so much a desirable achievement. :)

That's interesting, who are the pioneers doing this already ? 12V batteries are the Achilles heel of EVs.

So the only purpose of the 12V is to start the car ! Well, well, well. Manufacturers may as well abandon the 12V battery, leave the car permanently in ready state but with some form of security required, such as a key or code etc, to engage drive modes.

So are you saying that once the car is in ready state you could disconnect the 12v and the car would still run with the DC/DC operating all the ancillary equipment ?

You have a very early sunrise ! In Leeds sun up is 08:23 on both those days and sunset is 15:50 and 15:59. (We are in the period of the latest sunrises in the year) Come the end of January it will still be light (just) at 5pm.

That's a lot of leccy, about 15 days of our normal usage. :D (We do have gas CH though unfortunately.)

If this were the case what purpose does the 12V aux serve other than starting the car ? From the interweb conflicting versions: In an electric vehicle (EV), accessories like lights and windscreen wipers are powered by a standard 12V auxiliary battery, similar to those found in petrol and...

Is that correct ? I thought that the 12V battery supplied all the 12V functionality to the dash display. wipers, lights etc whenever they were on and the DC/DC converter merely supplied the power to the 12V aux battery. So the battery would be discharging and charging when driving. I am happy to...

Same, and the pro version upgrade is cheap as well.

Shopping recently and saw this, genuine.

Those are charging units supplied by Tesla but are not 'Tesla Superchargers'. The CPO is EV OTM (EV On The Move), a non-Tesla company installing V4 Superchargers as their equipment and using the Tesla infrastructure. They are open to all. It’s not branding for Tesla’s own Superchargers which are...

I certainly hope that the 5 miles/kWh claimed for it, (280 miles range and 56kWh battery) are achievable as it looks to be an interesting prospect.

You are correct with type 027. I think an AGM battery is unnecessary but each to their own. Since you asked for recommendations and as there is no real power drain on the battery for starting I would go for a cheaper but perfectly good option, choose whatever puts your mind at ease...

I always used a lead from the rear USB to charge my phone, much quicker.

I know you do, however the titles in the newspaper articles are click baity only specifying EVs and even the first paragraph of your original post specifically states EVs twice and not all cars.
