The only times I've had it is when something went wrong during charging. On A/C that usually means for whatever reason the EVSE has told the car it's going to provide power then some fault prevents that from occurring. on DC it usually means the handshake failed and the cars thrown its toys...

I'm pretty sure it's Red if it's caused by a fault condition. I have seen the amber one but usually only if I forgot to press the brake in, wonder why it's doing it on yours.

Might be worth calling/emailing them, I forgot set the EV option when I actually signed up so contacted them about it shortly after. I wasn't sure if they had changed it as the tariff hadn't changed in mywatts but Just got a bill through, and it is for the EV version the tariff so it looks like...

Before I stopped using it (because an update bricked it and I couldn't be bothered to fix it) I hooked the is being flat bedded GPS event to start polling if the car was being driven. If I could find somewhere better to mount the unit I might be tempted to set it up again, but I had it behind a...

Lightly tapping the brake pedal will regen brake first regardless of the KERS setting, you can see this happening on the power gauge as it goes into the charge/regen portion.

If the car hasn't engaged the HV battery contactors because you didn't have your foot on the brake when you pressed the button you get a very similar message (I think it might be in a different colour but I'm not 100% on that) and indeed pressing the start button again usually works. If the...

The Generic ELM Clone that uses WI-FI I have could read codes but seemingly not clear them, I've not tried doing that with the Vgate BLE one (I know the BLE one can get SOC data as I've used it with ABRP)

There was a dodgy sw version that caused a lot of check hv battery issues but that would throw it into limp mode not kill it totally. I suspect if the BMS sees a voltage or temp go too far out of threshold it immediately triggers an emergency shutdown and opens the contractors as it’s...

It’s probably more noticeable because it’s not actually tuned into a radio station. Same with dab, it’s tuned to a station I usually don’t get so it sometimes catches me by surprise if it does pick something up. I tend to stream music off the internet when I’m driving (usually one of the...

I've noticed something occasionally interferes with the signal from the reversing camera Occasionally I'll inadvertently put the radio on AM, that also picks up a lot of noise/interference from something (the motor I think)

I bought a couple of cables from the dealer when I bought my PFL. Whilst I could have easily gotten them cheaper on Amazon the way I saw it was by getting them from the dealer means it's on them if it turned out to be a dodgy cable and caught fire/damaged the car.etc

If I remember rightly it just instantly pops the boot back open. Tried it once just to see what would happen* *I made sure I knew where the other key was first.

Mines due a service soon, wonder if I'm better off asking for the Tesla charging update (they didn't have a clue last year) or stating that public charging is rather hit-and-miss and seeing if they then do an update. I've had issues handshaking with a few CCS chargers and also issues with A/C...

I blew the 12V socket on my PFL by dropping a USB type A plug into it, the fuse box is indeed a right pain to get to.

Drive near any major road, urban area.etc there are plenty of ANPR and cameras around. If a government agency want to track a car they probably don't need to resort to tracking the ecall/comms module sim.

@jamessimpson Are recent releases of OVMS installing ok for you, the last 2 times I tried to do an OTA it softbricked the OVMSv3 unit, the first time was probably because I hadn't updated from the Beta I was previously using for a long time, but after the 2nd time I just never bothered to...

Well the instavolt charger did work today at least, also I think I got a free A/C charge on a CPS post earlier as well, it didn't seem to respond to either the electroverse or the CPS RFID but it did dispense power. Seems the main issue with the instavolt is you don't just press start, but you...

Mines at 99% at 12k and 2yrs, at least according to ABRP, it's probably right as I believe I got a similar reading from OVMS.

Oh well done CPS, seems the address on their website ([email protected]) forwards to [email protected], however the way they've done it causes a rejection because it violates the DMARC policy I have on my domain. Remote server returned '550 5.7.509 Access denied, sending domain...

I do seem to have a lot of issues with public charging, but then again I don't do it very often.
