Has anyone seen any reports of any issues with the MEB platform cars (ID.3, ID.4, ID.6, Enyaq, Q4 and Born) that are mechanical or related to the drivetrain electronics? Really it seems to be mainly software niggles with non-critical systems that don’t stop the car from getting from A to B safely. And being software it’s most probably fixable far more easily than say a recall for a design fault in something like a brake calliper.

With our home charger install outstanding, we've relied on keeping going with public charge points, some of which are free via Chargeplace Scotland.

After two weeks ownership, we've has some issues getting cables to connect and chargers to work. Learning experience!

The 22kW charger we used seemed particularly slow, but although few within reasonable travel distance, the 50kW DC units are more like the real deal.

Yes, now realise that this type of charger not much better than home unit. First use was two and half hours and added 40 odd miles to range.

I charge at 26mph on my home pod point and at the weekend I used a 50kw charger than was running at 125 miles per hour for a short period.
