KiWhi Pass - Nissan Charge RFID Badge received and activated

This week, I received this RFid Badge from Nissan for free; It will allow the use and payment - even if charging stations are mostly free for now - of public chargers in France with a unique Badge

KiWhi is the company that makes this badge and Nissan partenered with them to offer this unique solution to their customers, for free ...



Registration on the KiWhi Pass website and link with the badge
After that you can refill your badge using your credit card, and a little fee is added, for example, 60cts charge for a 20 EUR refill



More charging stations are added and visible sorted by date, descending


I will have to test it somewhere now ...

Renault ZOE - Battery Charging Remote Inhibition

Remote Battery Inhibition

EV World reports that the financial arm of Renault UK, RCI, can:

"remotely inhibit the battery so that it won't charge should [the] car owner fail to make their monthly rental payments"
It's the first time I've seen in print that Renault has the capability to stop you using your Zoe if you don't pay the battery lease fee, though of course it has long been suspected.

My notes: Well, I think you can just remove the GSM chip, then the car will not be able to communicate with Renault's servers and there will be no battery charging disabling ...  ;-)

But maybe, it is not that simple ...
