More charging stations would really help, but generally we have plenty of range

I was with you until you got to the nut analogy.

I leased my i3 3 months ago. The cold weather had already begun, however I had done an extended test-drive (about a week) with another i3 before the cold had set in. The test-drive model consistently gave a range of 90 miles when fully charged. My new car however never suggests more than 60...

Maybe best to start a new thread for this if one doesn't already exist.

It would be amazing if you could add a photo of you're charging points to this discussion

Very interesting! thank you

Yes, we got all that, but can you confirm that you can still use ac chargers with the DC fast charge option installed?

Ok, but so we're clear for everyone, you can still use ac chargers even with the DC fast charge option installed?

Great! Now I unserstand! Thanks! Does anyone know if there are additional changes made to the i3 when you get the DC fast charge option? Or is it just the input socket change? If it's just the socket, I imagine this is an update that could easily be added to the car at a later date if...

With the carbon fiber body, I'd like to believe these cars could last a long time. Hopefully maybe even battery upgrades possible in the future. So, I'm still curious about my previous specific question-- If you get the DC fast charge as an option, and with an eye to the future, can you still...

So, I think CHAdeMO DCFC seems to be the terminology used to describe these aka "fast chargers, and the "superchargers" are for Tesla cars only. Next questions are… Is this the same physical plug that comes standard with the i3? In other words, if you get the DC fast charge option on the i3...

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...
