I have an I3 REX in its 4th year with 42,000 miles of which 32,000 electric
The computer dash tell me that I get 3.8 miles to the Kwh. If i look at actual Kwh required to restore the range (increase in reported range/kwh) back to 100% I get 3.4 miles to the Kwh and if I look at actual miles travelled the consumption is some 2.9 miles to the Kwh.
Not quite the save over petrol that BMW are claiming and not yet 50% through the promised battery life.
That said, apart from the engine mount issue fixed FOC by BMW, the only service costs have been tyres. Brake pads are just 50% worn !
I am using the "occasional" use charger all the time. Not sure if the efficiency differs from the heavy duty charging system?
