I have come to understand that you can get DC (direct current?) fast charging capability as a $700 option on the i3.
This is not to be confused with BMW's optional fast charger for $1k. From what I've read, it seems with the DC fast charge option, and a DC charger you can charge completely in close to 30minutes.
Problem is, where are these chargers? One company claims to have them, but their "map" fails to indicate what type of chargers are where. They only say "level 2" charger for example. What is this? Is it the DC fast charge?
Also can one instal one of these DC chargers at home? If so, who sells? BMW?
very interested, as if the DC chargers are widely available I might forgo the Rex option.
thanks
