Have you tried connecting your car's screen to your home Wi-Fi instead of using your phone's data plan? I have an aftermarket screen in my Fiat, and connecting to Wi-Fi fixed a similar issue.

I would install solar panels if I were you.

Weird, I've never heard of that. Usually, you can pre-condition your car remotely, no matter what the car's settings are. You should check the manual or ask a Toyota dealer. Maybe there's some weird setting or something that needs to be on for it to work 🤷‍♂️

It's generally better to charge your EV more frequently for shorter durations. This helps maintain battery health and longevity. Avoid letting the battery drain completely, as this can negatively impact its performance. While fast charging is convenient, it's best to limit its use to occasional...

This sounds like a chiller issue. Have you tried checking it?

You should first try using AlfaOBD to diagnose your car.

The battery gauge isn't always accurate, especially after you stop and start the car. It might show less range than you actually have. You can check the menu by using the button on the wiper stalk.

Look into companies like Octopus Energy. They might have some discounts or incentives for home chargers.

My 500e has an 87-mile range, but I'm only getting about 100 miles of real-world range. I mostly drive in the city, but I do some highway driving too. EV range estimates aren't always accurate, so I rely on the battery percentage instead.

Yup this was the case. Thanks guys!

Agree with @Scotty, it really depends on how much you drive and what charging options you have. If you only drive a little, a standard outlet might be enough. But if you need to charge faster, you can use a higher-powered outlet or public chargers.

Something's wrong with your Wallbox. It should be charging your 500e faster than 2kW. Check the circuit breaker and the Wallbox settings. If that doesn't work, contact Wallbox support.

Ensure that it is compatible with 500e's computer system. Look for LEDs labeled "CAN-bus ready."

I have a 500e La Prima and it's awesome. No big issues so far. But there's something that bugs me. When I set the charging for overnight, it doesn't stop when it should, unless I step in through the app. Is it me or is it the car? Do you have the same problem?
