I don't want to try it but does anyone know what happens if you press Start/Stop while driving?

I have to drive to San Diego, CA tonight for a business meeting tomorrow. It is a 186 mi drive from my home to the hotel I will stay. Even though I could rent a car or use my ICE, I've decided to throw caution to the wind and see how far I can push this EV thing. There are plenty of level 2...

I'm finding it difficult to judge how many miles I truly have remaining during a drive. I find the range estimate to fluctuate too much. The predicted range doesn't seem accurate. Yesterday I returned from a 99 mile drive with the range indicating 8 miles remaining. Looking at the energy used...

See the link for the specifics. Main point is you have to use it at least once by Dec 31,2014 to get 2015 for free. http://chargenow.chargepoint.com/fast-charging *ChargeNow DC Fast is only available in California and excludes Level 1 and Level 2 charging on NRG eVGo Stations. **To be...

I've seen some old posts talking about ACC with Stop & Go but nothing recent. Since I just got my car and was able to use it for the 1st time, I had to start a new thread to let people know how incredibly awesome this feature is. Good lord my CA probably was thinking I was a nut case because...

It's my understanding that the EVSE uses the charging cable Proximity and Pilot lines to determine cable type and charging current. I'm wondering what the failsafe is so that you don't get zapped when connecting the cable if there's been a failure in the EVSE, EME, or KLE? There's obviously some...

Anyone in the U.S. noticed the i3 being used in the new CBS series "Extant"? Halle Berry drives it as her personal car in the show. Quite a few scenes now with it clearly displayed. I also noticed Tesla Model S in many scenes. There was even a scene in the 1st or 2nd episode with the Tesla Model...

BMW advertises their motor is 125 kW (170 hp). Unfortunately, the math doesn't add up. 1 hp = 746 watts 1 kW = 1.34 hp 170 hp = 127 kW 125 kW = 167.5 hp What's the right answer?

It gets quite sunny in my neck of the woods. I know this is a big drain on battery power to cool the cabin. Consequently, I'd like to find at least a windshield shade to keep the cabin cooler when it's parked at work. I was surprised that there is no windshield shade on the BMW USA site. The...

I've seen a number of questions about chargers on the forum. I don't recall any that discuss using a home charger that lets you manage or track charging sessions remotely. Tracking individual session expenses for a home business or just to track usage is also possible. I installed a Coulomb...

Ordering the "Mega" World trim, I see that although it does not come with Sirius-XM radio the vehicle specs indicate it is "pre-wired". I assume that is like the old CD Changers that were pre-wired and you could add the changer afterwards? The CA mentioned there is a Sirius-XM smartphone app...
