@@automatix5 You do give up a lot but when considering that you get two of these for the price of the cheapest iD3 here in Finland, it's very easy to forgive all that is lacking. Even we would get an iD3, Kona, or similar, if we could. But we just can't afford to.
This triplets (Skoda/vw/Seat) are superb little EV's. Low consumption, a good heater, fast heating seats, deacent battery size for a small car = good range even in winther (tested in Norway in -20 deg, 220 km to full stop), comfortable, low noise and a well functional app.
Thanks for the video, I've watched most of yours as we bought a Seat Mii Electric in November. At the moment we're only planning to use it for short trips as we have another (hybrid) car for longer journeys. Here in the UK we had what we thought was a cold night recently when it went down to -3, the lowest I can ever remember was -10 in the early 1980's so not in the same league as your winter temperatures. I have charged the car at the supermarket once just to try out our cable but it only charged at 3.6Kw on a 7.2Kw AC charger, I have read that this is a standard issue and can be rectified by a software update, have you had this done on yours? We're very happy with the car, my wife uses it for local trips and it suits her just fine, we generally charge at home using our domestic 240V AC plug which takes about 7 hours for a 50% charge which is fine as we don't use the car every day. Thanks again for the videos, it's easier to watch them than read the handbook!
It's not a sw issue on the e-UP/Mii/Citigo. They have a 2-phase charger, that can't combine the two phases like on e-Golf. Luckily, all of our type2 chargers are always 3-phase, as in majority of EU countries.
Do you have 36kwh battery with 300km range? Do you have an CSS charger version? And how much it costs this car . I'm considering to buy this car for traveling every day 80km. So I must then charging it every 2-3 days.
36,8kWh(32,3kWh usable). CCS is always standard in Finland. With all optional equipment, better Style trim and winter tyres on Skoda wheels, we payed roughly 20k€ in 2020. Here, the Citigo can't be bought anymore.
If you drive 80km per day highway, the range will be maybe 200-220 km. This, because in the morning the climate takes a bit of energy for 10-15 minutes, even at 10-15 degrees C. So maybe every 2 days during summer, every day during winter. At -20 or -25, we get about ~125 km max, before heating cuts out. Summer, in the city, easily 310 km + (we have seen almost 330km in the city).
I doubt it warms up faster. You're just making that up as it's clear by your lack of care about climate heating you lack any social responsibility and are an inadequate.
