They could have used 5mm toughened steel but that would add 100 kgs plus

Seems like a bad place to trade protection for weight!

It looks more like a rock or steel plate has flipped up and punctured the battery floor, the insurance company would probably treat it as a write off then someone else would put another battery in there are several on EBay at around £12k presumably from accident damaged cars. There will be independ...

even the lower amount per Kwh is insane though and compares really badly to say BP in the UK.

Yeah I think I will log a call with PodPoint. To be fair to the installer he looked slightly nonplussed when he realised the electric meter/fuse point was dead centre of the house (it has been extended in multiple directions) so the vast majority of the time was spent smartly routing a cable throug...

Can’t see the picture anywhere??

its a crappy embed in the in picture of that link (top left corner), its not a very good picture to say the least but appears to show a puncture mark under the car in what I assume is the battery compartment floor (which you might think would be better protected).

I read about this on the other forum and seems a bit fishy, maybe its just JLR or the designated dealer padding profit as it would be almost impossible for anyone else to reliably fix this. It looks like someone attached a jack in the wrong place and punctured the floor with the weight as they attem...

Me too, on all counts. The survey seemed to be geared towards finding support for the particular conclusion that they already had in mind. The lack of ambition in their proposal was particularly disappointing. Who wants electric charging to be "as easy as fossil fuel" when it could be so much bette...

Leak in the climate lines maybe or maybe not enough refrigerant in the unit? It's not normal in my experience I have the odd rattle which I intend to get sorted the next time I need to attend a dealer but otherwise mine is pretty quiet apart from the stupid and unnecessary electronic noises that can...

Thanks all, it's set at 100 amp and has a dedicated fuse box from the main line. Yes, I suspect it could be the charger. The installer did have a bit of a nightmare installing the kit taking around 6-7 hours! (on average he mentioned 2 hours). In terms of taking it out and putting it back in again ...
