    He'd have a lot more credibility if he cut the video in half, removing all the impressions.


    I've got a Stellantis EV, it is rather like buying an Ecoboom or a Purecrap, before you buy you do your research and they seem ok, then weeks later you find everyone and his dog reporting £3000 failures and you are driving a ticking time bomb.



    Not very encouraging that even they just wave their hands in the air and declare them "unfixable"- they mention cracked PCBs which ought to be an easy fix.


    The biggest problem is Stellantis locking up all the modules so you can't fix them yourself or even swap them with second hand (I suppose they had to do that as with such a high failure rate you would never be able to lose sight of the car for fear of someone stealing parts to repair another) , unlike the Zoe where there are so many about  that the information to fix them is generally available.


    Since no-one seems to know why they fail, I limit the AC charge current of mine to 20A.
    It would be nice if data were available as to how many have failed that only ever DC charge compared to Granny charge at 10A, or AC charge at 32A



    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
