Hi Folks. Having done our first long trip over Easter – 420 miles to Suffolk and back from Dorset, I successfully used a number of chargers to familiarise and test them out. Lessons learned, like avoid rapid chargers when you don’t need them – 79p per Kwh (Ouch!). I have one question and having trawled the forum I’m unable to find an answer. When the car is on charge, the charging status screen comes up and goes off after about 20 secs. While sat in the car, is there a way to get this screen up to see how things are progressing? If I go from off to standby to ready, lock or unlock the car it will come up for 20secs, but is there a way of simply just getting this screen up without doing something major? I read a post that says if, when outside, you DON’T have the key with you and touch the door unlock button it will come up or if you open a door or the boot, but it is a simple request of the system surely to have a way, while inside or outside the car, to access this? I have learned that you can sit in the car with it in ready mode or standby, have the heater on, listen to the radio etc. I know you can see the charger unit outside and get the info from there, but in the dark and rain it might not be possible. Am I being an idiot? Thanks for your thoughts!
