1kW that may be too low, 2 or 3kW may be right, where the ZEV uses resistive heater elements to warm the cabin and not by an air-heat pump. Does anyone know the typical draw in Kw?

The Credit Card company, in my situation Mastercard, required a set of four pieces of information: 1) the statement for the credit card showing the transaction to KR models, a online credit card e-statement was satisfactory. 2) the invoice from KR to the purchaser, again an e-invoice was...

So how many "sealed-for-life" systems in your Tesla, battery coolant, the reduction gear coupling the electric motor and the roadwheels, does the reduction gear contain oil with a service life?

If I understand your post, your Tesla has a " bumper to bumper" warranty and no requirements for inspection or servicing "of any kind" by Tesla, and you can simply drive until something fails and Tesla will pick up the bill without hesitation. So what exactly are the conditions you must observe...

Any experts present on the subject of Corporation Tax and ZEV's? I read an article that a company running a scheme for employees to drive ZEV's as company cars can enjoy major tax allowances applicable to ZEV's but only minor allowances for IC cars. The article quoted an example where the...

I do hope your VW Id is one of the cars where the batteries degrade in a nice polite manner. VW are aware of premature failure of battery modules of iD series cars manufactured 2021 to 2023.

The saga of software issues is well known, a colleague owns an iD4, many amendments to code by "over-the-air" transmission, even then an annual service expanded to a lengthy two days, main reason a major install of revised code.

I ordered a DHP1 by credit card to the invoice value of £164.50. KR models no longer trading and as advised by KR models by a farewell e-mail to customers, I initiated a section 75 request for refund with the credit card company. So far no refund, only emails to and fro requesting information...
