I've just done the first full charge (8% to 100%) for our new car.
Surprisingly the battery's balancing took only 8 minutes.
Perhaps this is an indication of how beneficial a long slow charge is?
(This was with a granny charger.)
The other unexpected thing was that on the first drive the...
Thanks everyone for your comments.
So I've been wondering if I should install a proper EVSE instead of using the granny charger so as to get a better charging efficiency.
But given that we only use the car for low mileage I reckon we'd only break even with the cost of installing one after...
The car definitely does decimal places.
But (as usual) the app and the vehicle figures are slightly inconsistent - when the car says 1.7 kW the app says 1.8 kW.
The car saying that it is drawing about 1.8 kW when in fact what's coming out of the house is 2.16kW is IMO a really big difference...

We took delivery of a SE SR on April 5th.
The software is 1100R21.
So far we're very happy with this.
In particular the Lane Departure Assist is absolutely fine - just a gentle vibration of the steering wheel and an audible warning.
(We had previously had experience of hiring a 2023 car and the...
Yes I've had it, but only for short periods.
I often find that the app doesn't initially display any data on the home page, but if I select the second page (vehicle status) this loads correctly and after this the home page then also displays correctly.
You've probably tried this but I thought...
I thought some of you might be interested in what happens during LFP battery balancing.
(This is what my car did this morning, measured with a Shelly EM.)
