I've just seen the Trending on @bsky.app thing (had that happened today) I am so not interested in what people are interested in !! Mind you is it counted as "trending" if there are 77 posts ?? So I'm guessing this is paid for by BB marketing??

So I stopped the #hyundai #Bluelink 100 quid a year subscription a month ago. It turns out it was 70 quid a year for 2 OTA updates that did nothing useful So now it's WiFi + USB! I started at 7.30 am and here I am at 2.45pm !! They are doing this deliberately snail pace right!?

Just had a really good charge at @driveco.bsky.social Carrefour 150kW charger and the #Ioniq5 took all of them for ages. So started at 14% finished at 93% and added at least 450km. Here's the first/ kWh. L trying to work out how that compares to petrol ??

The @fastned.bsky.social app says that you can charge at any of the several ChargeLeague companies and pay via the Fastned app. But when I tried that at Ionity Donmartin FR54200 this weekend I couldn't start the charge. It sent me to the Ionity web site. That's not very connected it's it.

So after the kids double booked our Easter weekend trip we've hooked the caravan to the Ioniq 5 and dashed south on an autoroute test. French autoroutes are not a friend to EVs (zero regen, no showing down) But here's our recharge after 180km Gotta love a warm battery #DriveEV #EvCaravanning
