    • @RichManPoorMotors
      @RichManPoorMotors 2 месяца назад

      The beeping boot not opening is because the sensors are telling the car that the roof isn’t fully closed The sensors are the roof into a pillar left right The rams (c pillar) for lifting the roof not fully up left and right Or the boot catch rear centre not fully rotated These can be done but pushing catches with screwdriver fully closed a pillar, lifting rams in c pillar hydraulics this is a bit tricky but can be done again using a screwdriver or a socket under rams while you close roof, and the boot tines can be closed in the boot lock by pushing with a screwdriver. To open boot pull a fuse in engine bay I think for memory it is f14 or f15 this will allow you to open boot but replace fuse before driving as it also dose other important circuits once all done beeping will stop, fault is most likely a broken wire in the wiring loom attached to the boot mechanism on left hand side

    This video is deliberately misleading and spreading misconceptions. You could have summarized this video with: CCS standard has won, buy yourself a car with ccs plug and you will be fine. The industry is also considerate and does not leave folks in the dark that put their early money on the Japanese standard. They still went with Nissan’s messed up charging solution even though the writing was on the wall for the last 10 years.

      @@where_is_mark when i purchased the car the charging stations at mcDonalds, starbucks, and the Moto services were not even built, the car is charge at home and is just used for local journeys, making use of the running cost of £1.50 per 90 miles, but i have had people who haven't bought electric EV yet, ask me questions about charging, questions about range, questions about performance and a lot of those will be purchasing a used car around 7 years old. My point as was shown in the video and to inform and help those who don't know, is to check what charger you have in your car before buying otherwise you might not be able to charge easily on route, i showed that CCS is a lot more popular than CHADdeMO and if you have CHADdeMO then there are less chargers and these also might be used by someone with CCS, while there are other CCS chargers free,

    Buy a car which has CCS plug. CCS chargers are everywhere and the CCS can charge DC and AC type 2. They are everywhere and every EV sold today in EU has the CCS plug as well as cables for Type 2 charging.

      CHADdeMO was still the standard leaf connection ccs was a option at least in 2023 when I was looking at buying one, not everyone is able to purchase new

    I have a 2nd gen leaf and a KIA EV6 and I could also have charged at any of them that you showed. Even the Tesla chargers are now beginning to open up to non Tesla motors. can you not get an adapter for the Zoe so that it works with other charger ports? I have not looked myself but I remember seeing that teslas offer an adapter so that theirs can work on non Tesla chargers. cheers J

    In 2024, this is really just a zoe problem rather than a EV problem, though isn't it? Up until recently I had a leaf, it's only in the last year I've noticed Chademo numbers going down and CCS replacing them, but there's still thousands around that will likely outlast any gen 1 and 2 leaf - The type 2 only option on the Zoe was always going to limit it to home charging, even when it came out that was obvious - When 100% of new cars are ccs in europe and have been for a couple of years (and ccs > chademo adapters exist now) really the question to ask when buying an ev is "does it have ccs and if not are you 100% sure you will ONLY charge at home?".
