I have a 2022 ID4 and the back of the seat got scratched, I am wondering if anyone has any idea on how to fix this? Or if it even is possible to fix it?
I took it to a shop and they tried cleaning, polishing and small paint but it did not go away and was still visible.
For people who use both on the car, which is the best they found in terms of integration? I want to use ABRP but their map is too zoomed in and not as convenient as Google Maps, so was wondering if Google Maps offers more features on Android Auto connected with ID4 2022 or vice versa?
Also has anyone figured out a way to turn off wireless connection for android auto/apply carplay?
Yearly, we host a bbq for friends and work friends. Usually around 15-20 people.
I usually am at the grill all day making burgers, sausages, skewers and so forth, we tried just putting cooked meat and things on plates for people to help themselves, but they usually just sit and by the time they get to make their own burgers etc, it gets cold.
Last time, I tried getting people to come up to me at the grill and I will instantly put the patty or sausages in their bun and they can add condiments themselves and enjoy, majority did not get off from their seat and or just ate the whole burger bland on a bun.
I am thinking for next time, to make the whole burger, hotdog myself and have people come up to me, have a little chat and get their meal and so forth, it also helps me socialise and have a chat with people, instead of just standing at the grill all day alone.
Some people show up, sit down and never leave the seat at all.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience hosting BBQ to help improve our setup? Should I setup the seating/table situation differently? Or grill it on demand, any ideas are welcome.
Current setup in our garden during the party:
From my understanding the Ford Explorer Electric is built on the same MEB platform as the ID4 and shares the almost the same trunk.
My ID4 comes with a hard shell cover for the trunk, while the the Ford Explorer is more of a flat soft cover, does anyone know if the cover from the Ford Explorer fits in the ID4? Or knows the part number for the Ford cover so I can maybe order it or test it.
Ik rijd momenteel in een Volkswagen ID.4 uit 2022 en ga deze zomer op reis van Nederland naar Frankrijk. Ik heb de standaard CCS2-laadkabel, maar de plek waar ik in Frankrijk naartoe ga, heeft een gewoon stopcontact. De eigenaar van de accommodatie heeft gezegd dat ik daar kan opladen als ik een 220-watt-stekkerkabel heb.
Is er ergens in Nederland waar ik zo'n kabel voor een week kan huren, aangezien ik hem thuis of voor normaal gebruik niet nodig heb? Of is het toch beter om er een te kopen?
Edit: Bedankt voor alle informatie! Ik ga kijken of ik er een kan lenen van een vriend of buurman die er een heeft, en anders laad ik indien nodig bij Lidl of Carrefour terwijl ik daar wacht. Ik ben van plan om de Tesla Superchargers te gebruiken voor de heen- en terugreis, aangezien die met een abonnement het goedkoopst lijken te zijn.
I am planning my first big road trip with ABRP, as a first time EV owner. I have premium and all the things but few things I cannot figure out.
I have an ID4 from 2022. I added the car into the app, and got a OBD BLE dongle to use live data.
I will be going from Netherlands to Italy. I want to make the app use only Tesla Superchargers, I added it as a preferred network and added it to favorites but it keeps suggesting other networks. I do not mind if the route is different or a bit longer as long as it uses the Tesla Superchargers, how do I force it to navigate me to my destination via Tesla Superchargers?
When using the app with Apple CarPlay, the map is super zoomed in, when I try to zoom out and continue driving it resets to zoomed in mode, is there a setting or way to change this? Or is it better on Android Auto, I have an Android phone I could use if needed.
Main reason I want to use Tesla Supercharger network is because it is cheapest and also from what I read the most reliable in Germany/Italy as some other ones might not work or are broken and so forth.
I am trying to make a box to fit inside this IKEA Billy shelf, I want to make it out of acrylic or whatever and seal the edges with caulk as I will put my cat water bowl inside it, the cat likes to splash water around while drinking.
How do I measure what size the box should be to fit inside? I tried it once with 3mm wood and lasercutting it but it did not fit at the end, what is the best way to go to measure it? I tried measuring it with a ruler/measure tape but it was off..
IKEA shares the size of the Billy shelf but not sure how to take into account the thickness of the shelf walls
I will be visiting Hamburg on a weekend for a day, and was wondering which car parking garage I should use close to the center of Hamburg.
I’ll be driving an electric car, so if there is a charger I could also use to charge while parked that would be great
I looked at a few in Google Maps but they have pretty bad reviews and cars being broken into problems. Is street parking safer? Or a hotel parking lot? Any recommendations are welcome!
Doing my first long drive with my new (to me) EV. A VW ID4 from 2022 with 77kWh battery. I am driving from the North of Netherlands, leaving the house with a 100% battery heading for Hamburg, I have used ABRP and various apps, to figure out where I need to stop to charge, but not sure which option I should go with.
Option A: Stop close to Bremen with 48% and charge at a Fastned charger (I get a discount on this from work so its pretty cheap at €0.49/kWh), recharge until 65% and continue to Hamburg. Is stopping to recharge with fast charger at 48% bad? This is the safest option I feel comfortable with, but I do not want to take it just to "feel secure"
Option B: Stop at Ionity Ostetal Sud, with 14% and charge to 44% then continue to Hamburg, this one is more expensive, as I do not get a discount on Ionity chargers and it costs €0.60/kWh per the Electroverse card. Though it makes arrive with 14%.. which worries me what if I dont make it or if the charger doesnt work.
Anyone who has done a long roadtrip in Germany (mainly to Hamburg?) any recommendation on which option, or an alternative option that is cheaper/better?
