Exactly right. It was typically in the early thirties each time I stopped, and the charging speed never seemed to be impaired. I was more trying to declare that my route planning process didn't include pre-conditioning, which might impact others in different circumstances. Thanks for...

Thank you, delighted it helped. Unless you are all 6'4" then I wouldn't hesitate taking it - it is more than just leg room that makes for a comfortable journey. I honestly had no complaints from any of my family regarding comfort (other than the hard middle seat). Maybe plan a break half-way...

Thank you, and congratulations on the car - it looks amazing. Regarding charge planning: I eventually just gave up trying to make sense of what the car / app was suggesting or trying to get it to do what I wanted. It shouldn't be (and doesn't need to be) as difficult as it is. There is only so...

Thank you!

Hi. Speed: I didn't log my average speed but our schedule meant that we were never really stuck in traffic, (except once in Italy due to a bad crash), so we were almost always travelling at close to (but never over!😇) the speed limit. The volume of trucks on the road in Italy did slow us...

Thank you. Delighted it has helped. Best of luck with your adventures in it.

Thank you. Honestly, I didn't measure or notice a material impact on efficiency. The approach of limiting our driving every day and having a charging stop half-way meant that I didn't have to factor it in. I was, however, still very impressed with the seemingly effortless acceleration and...

Thanks @tigerbalm Hotels - searching was a family project! Everyone was given a different city to research - from hotels to sightseeing. I think Booking.com was the favourite initial source, followed by direct contact with the hotel to validate the parking and EV charging. If they...

My view on this is that the restrictions are there for good reason and, as a visitor to these great cities, I want to be respectful of the local laws. I also don't want the risk or stress of potential confrontations while on holiday with my family. Electric cars currently enjoy exemptions from...

TL;DR: It can be done, it's fantastic, do it. This Taycanforum was a great resource for me when buying my Taycan so I thought I would share my experience of doing a roadtrip in it across Europe, in the hope that some of it will help someone. The trip did take some planning and preparation, and...

Registration problem sorted in Ireland - finally able to take her home (just before click-and-collect was stopped). What a machine! The more I drive it the more I love it.

Same problem in Ireland! Allegedly an issue for all electric cars. No indication of when it will be resolved.

Ditto! Looks amazing.

Thanks Gogs and Persuader - really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Looks amazing. Now you have me wishing I had ticked the box for them!

I have been recommended a home charging unit that comes with its own app that allows you to schedule when it will charge the car (to avail of the cheaper rate at night) and balance the load with the household usage. I am wondering if this creates any problem for the car’s own charging schedule...

Can I ask what you think of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus system please? I ordered the Mobile Charger Connect with the car but have since been told to just keep that in the car for on-the-road use and instead use the Wallbox (?). I also intend to put an energy management module in the house to...

I have been recommended the Wallbox Pulsar Plus with dynamic load balancing to reduce the output to the car if the house consumption is high. It will have its own 5m charging cable which will allow me to keep all of the cables that come with the car in the car, in case I ever need them on the...

Thanks a million for the replies ("go raibh mile maith agat", Scandinavian!) The issue I have is trying to minimise the load on the mains supply when everything is consuming a lot of power in the house (we have a lot of potential big loads!) - hence why everyone I have spoken to so far is...
