How to Charge the Volkswagen ID3 at Home

Model: Volkswagen Id 3 MK 1 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

The message conveyed by the video is that charging an electric car like the Volkswagen ID3 at home is easy and less demanding than one might think. The comparison made by the YouTuber is fitting: the power needed for daily home charging for many commuters (covering about 31 miles) is less than that of a hairdryer. The necessary equipment is a home charging cable; do not use a standard Schuko socket for regular charging as it is slow and can be dangerous due to prolonged overloads. It is recommended to use a wallbox, a wall-mounted charging point installed by a qualified electrician, which is safer, faster, and often enabled to take advantage of reduced rates. A "Mode 3" cable with a compatible connector is needed to connect to the wallbox. Park the car nearby, connect the plug to the car socket, connect the other end of the cable to the wallbox, and charging will start automatically. When finished, unlock the car, disconnect from the wall first and then from the car.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
