It could be the way you have the contact saved in your phone. I noticed with Siri on some contacts I had to say “mobile” at the end.
Same as all the other ones, everything except the gate (which is the one I called most) worked by saying call ...
Will we see more of this soon?
I don't see the point of the voice stuff. Especially with preheating/cooling and schedules along with the fact my car will automatically turn on the heated seat and steering wheel when it's below a certain temperature, I don't see the point in pressing the voice button or saying something to activate it and then say "my ass is cold"
Easier to just two finger tap the climate to turn the seat on...
I pressed the voice button on the steering wheel, nothing happened... There's a great start🫣
After tapping it, you have to talk..........

A first-gen Nissan Leaf battery module was rated at 64 amp-hours (Ah) when new, meaning that a two-module setup could, in theory, result in a total capacity of 128 Ah. That’s 28,160 watt-hours (or 28.1 kilowatt-hours) at a nominal voltage of 220V or 14,080 Wh (14 kWh) at a voltage of 110V. In other words, an appliance that draws 1 kW of power at 110V will deplete the pack in 14 hours.
Am I missing something here - do these numbers not compute? Seems that some how the author as confused the whole battery pack with a battery module?
The originally quoted article states "Each Leaf uses 48 battery modules. The portable power stations contain two modules."
Going by the above 64Ah/48 modules = 1.33Ah/module.
That would mean the Powerpack, consisting of 2 modules (2.66Ah) x 220V = 586Wh .....
If they are going to charge anywhere remotely near the quoted approx€1000 then they wont be selling many of these.
Why would you buy old, used battery tech at double the cost of a new, safer and higher capacity 1210Wh LFP battery/powerpack for €459 (have to add code T8EG52SJG0MC for 50% discount at checkout) delivered (from the Bargains Alerts thread).
It works ok for the few things I've ever said to it. Find me a charger defo works. Take me to Dublin. I don't use it often though.
Android auto voice works ok, open WhatsApp, play xxxx on Spotify. WhatsApp voice texts have thrown up some howlers though.
It got you 2 thanks, obviously I spoke but nothing happened...
I'm rich.....
I find it struggles with my Donegal accent but works fine for my wife.
Haha, I'd like a leaf pack with those 14 kWh modules, please. Almost 700 kWh in the pack would make our car to go for cool 4000 km per charge. Say goodbye to the range anxiety.
I'm not buying an EV until it can drive from Dublin to Warsaw and back on one charge, what if I'm on a trip and when I arrive I've forgotten my kid, EV's just don't work /s
I wouldn't even consider it until they can be charged wirelessly.
God knows who has been handling those EV charging cables.
And it has to be able to tow a 36 foot yacht and a 4 berth caravan at the same time 😉
BMW offered wireless charging station install in your drive or your garage way back in 2017! Nothing new about this tech and the efficiency isn't even any worse than current wired charging. We'll see a lot of this in the near future...
and I need to be able to fry an egg on the bonnet after a 3+ hour drive...
were does de heat come from to fry me egg???
From the battery fire which happens 100% of the time 😉
I don't know, I think you should all lower your expectations, I would be happy with just traveling to Monaghan and back and not be stuck in a que or even better, just not have to think about charging, pre heating, or having to consult ABRP.
Dublin to monaghon is 150-160k depending on how you go, where you are starting from, a lot of EV drivers would be reasonably comfortable making that trip and back without having to worry about the largely non existing queues you mention.
Nonsense, no-one is happy driving to Monaghan 😂
Seriously though, I can do that in one charge plus extra in a 2 year old ID.4
I'd be happy enough just to see a lot of wired charging in the near future.....with a single payment method.
Some one was moaning here about it a week or so ago, funnily enough there is more to the country than just Dublin. I can understand the leisurely trips out past the m50 to see the cows and turf, If I never saw them before I would take my time too.
Can do that all day long 😂
I can do north Dublin to Belfast and back and still have enough charge to get to work the next day.
Heck, I could do that in my 2016 EV!
Well you didn't specify an origin, so forgive for betting on the 40% chance you were talking about Dublin or the surrounding area 😉
you do most of the moaning here from what i can see, about problems that a) dont really exist and b) arent an issue for you, but carry on!
I'm not from Dublin originally, ive seen enough cows and turf to do me ;)
The moaner for lack of a better word, did not say either, I think most ice cars could do that trip easily enough from most anywhere in the country without stopping, queuing or diverting or using ABRP,
Not sure why you go on about ABRP. I've never used that for any trips in the near 7 years I've had an EV as the main family car. If you do a lot of long distance driving in Ireland, get a Tesla, you will never need any app or any fob or any card for charging and on the very unlikely occasion you will have to queue to charge, it will only be for a few minutes.
Unless of course you are rich and you can afford to burn fossil fuel 😂
Not unless they had their own oil well and refinery at home. The fuel in their tank didn't magically get there.
... haven't you got the worst of both worlds though with a miserable 30-50km on battery and then having to burn petrol in a fairly inefficient vehicle. I wouldn't be pointing and laughing at BEV drivers if I were you. Plus, you've got double the potential problems. Doesn't make a lot of financial sense. Go full BEV or stick with diesel.
Just wondering what we are doing wrong, with two EVs over the last two and a half years we have never had to queue, divert, or use ABRP. We do however stop occasionally...☺️
Edit. 3 and a half years, time flies.....
