so i just picked up my first ever electric car which is a jaguar i-pace hse and honestly im pretty lost with all the screens. sorry if this is a total beginner question but i have no idea what tech accessories i actually need. i live in south london and mostly just use it for work but i want the right gear.
what else is a must have for this thing? i feel like im missing stuff...
Agreed on the cable bag but safety is a huge factor people overlook. Those heavy Type 2 cables are basically projectiles in a crash if they arent tied down. Over the years the Thule Go Box Large Car Boot Organizer has been the most reliable for staying put in my boot. Also, grab Whoosh Screen Shine 100ml Kit for the fingerprints. Its way safer for the jag screen coatings than generic sprays.
Just caught this thread and wanted to chime in. The I-PACE is such a nice ride but those glossy screens are basically fingerprint magnets. Before I suggest much, are you mainly charging at home or are you gonna be using the public chargers around South London? It kinda changes how you might want to stash your cables. For the messy boot, I'd skip the small bags and go for a Drive Auto Car Boot Organiser Storage instead. It is way more practical for stopping the cables from sliding into your shopping. To handle the screen smudges, look into a Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit Screen Protector Jaguar I-PACE. It helps a ton with the oily look. Also, make sure to grab a ESR MagSafe Car Mount Charger for your iPhone. I would suggest being cautious with the cheaper vent clips though because they can feel a bit flimsy with the I-PACE dash layout.
In my experience, grab a Tevlaphee EV Cable Bag Waterproof and a CarlinKit 5.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter to stay tidy and connected while saving your budget.
