I live in holland, since the beginning of september i have significantly less range than before after a workshop visit. Before the visit i had 19,6 kwh battery capacity and steady, since then it was 18,1 and dropping, then steady 17,5. The steep drop was beginning september and the workshop...

I read about this KLE being replaced a lot and reduced charge rates. Does every i3 get a new KLE eventualy? The sw is updated several times and i still have the full charge rate. Could this on and off switching have something to do with it? In had a loaner a few weeks ago and that one had the...

Hi, I read in the topic about "off peak tarif" and the troubles this funtion has, one symptom is the red charge port light when opening the doors, along with a charge failure displayed in the app. My charge port light also goes red a lot of times during pre conditioning of the interiour. Since...

Mine is a BEV too....

Marcel, You know my 'fatal' aproach on this. So i am charging 32A, or choose to do with less by means with the setting in the car. A week ago i had it on 32A and forgot to tell my partner NOT to use to much electricity, ending up w ithdish washer etc, all working at the same time. I noticed my...

Today i drove 237 km with an average speed of 61,6 km/h. Electric use of 12,5 kWh/100km. At the stop (fastcharger CCS @fastned "het veen") i had driven 134 km, with 10 km left on the "guessometer"... ;-) Calculating..... 18,8 nett battery, makes 150 km possible on my battery charge today...

Hi Marcel, Why doesn't it use the full 7,4 kW? (32A) Sander

I got the following answer on the question why the battery is not 100 full at departure after preconditioning and why it is not taking power from the charger at all times: (it came from BMW headquarters) ” Required precon. power can be higher than charging power, depending on temperature, SoC...

Did, in both cases, the power consumption start at half an hour before departure? This is good info to prove my case.

When activating the preconditioning manualy this is what happens, so you're right. But when you set a departure time, which in my experience is equivalent to "pre-heat the batteries", there is no power taken from the house. At least; in my case. Do you want to check that for me? My...

Hi, The dealer contacted me a few days ago and informed me that a software update is prepared by BMW to fix the issues we've experienced about draining the battery instead of wall power during battery pre-heat.

Bij mij wel wat bandengeluid waarneembaar sinds de zomerbanden er op zitten. Ik kijk het een tijdje aan. Een dergelijk stille auto daar hoor je alles in. Daar kan toyota over meepraten. Of vraag het leasemaatschappijen; daar worden op toyota hybrides banden vervangen; niet omdat ze versleten...

OK.. another confirming experience about this: I had a long drive and came home with 11% SOC, connected to wallbox and started immediatly with charging. Stopped at 29%, just like last time. Only last time it took 8 minutes to reach 29%, this time it took 31 minutes. So it seems the cheap tariff...

Unlikely... because it doesn't do this every time. It seems it's more depended on SOC.

Very interesting because i experienced something similar. I was observing the behaviour and reliability of the cheap tariff setting. I want to prevent to have my house installation in overload when the car is charging at 32 amps. I wanted to use this setting too. But i kept a close eye on it...

Voor je overzichtje: ik had een productiereservering gedaan op 13-9-2013.

I understand your concerns, thanks. But i have an automatic main fuse which i can reset myself. So my risks are not that high. I will only use 32 A charging at home when i need to charge with a higher speed. For the rest i will have the cable setting at "middle" and i found out it still does a 22A.

@Lecram: my main fuse is 40 amps, single phase, which doesn't really matter because the i3 is restricted to single phase charging only.

OK, after a software reset and reload of the car, and a wall-box/evse change, i get the full 32 amps. Now i have to be aware my main fuse is not coming out ;-) Now i can observe and investigate some more on the pre-heat function and behaviour

Yesterday i almost didn't make it home. I did 180 km with only a 10 minute charge at the DC charger. I left there with 90 km range and thought i had the chance of charging at my destination. But that wasn't possible because of a malfunctioning charge station. So i had to reach home: 135 km with...
