I think EV cars still has a massive depreciation curve so i would never get anything new, even with discounts. I got my 2017 BEV for 15k OTD (including a 6k trade in for my fiat 500e) when the msrp was over 55k just a few years ago. If you're leasing then it's a moot point but I'd hold off on...

about 75% highway miles. With my commute and pattern of driving, each one of four GOM bar represents about 35mi of actual driving distance (my one way work trip is 33mi). So my daily roundtrip is ~70mi (including small city put-putting) and SOC% remaining is around 55%. I tend to charge up at...

Luckily no. My weekday commute is West and East so there is little in change of elevation.

Just an anecdote, bought my 2017 Bev a few weeks ago and am getting 150mi consistently on a full charge driving 65mph with HVAC off and ACC engaged in Eco pro mode. I'm in SoCal.

I think it's a safe bet that all 2017 sold in the US are 94ah. Go with what Vin decoder have.

If it's your first EV then it's a steep learning curve. I'd suggest starting off with a used spark EV or a leaf.

That's not the "problem" I'm having currently... Currently I'm dealing with the recuperation energy of +60mi/kwh for a driving distance of usually 10-20mi :o :lol:

I just go by the SOC %. In my 2017 BEV, and based on my driving style and settings, every 20% drop in SOC represents a driven distance of +30mi. I've gone +150mi on a full charge many times at 65mph, eco pro mode, ACC on, and hvac off.

Been looking around and haven't seen anything concrete on how to do this through bimmercode. Does anyone have experience or done this before? Thanks.

Just drove home a 2017 protonic blue i3 BEV with parking assistant, technology and drive assistant packages (i guess the only thing missing is the sunroof?) for $17.5k OTD with my fiat 500e trade-in. Not new to EV cars (have had 3), but im proud to say that I'm now a newly-minted BMW driver :D...

That's the thing, I've looked at roughly 20 '17 BEVs and VIN decoder show "i3 94 (USA)" on every single one. To show that the VIN decoder isn't busted, I've looked up the VIN for 2016s and of course every single one just shows "i3 (USA)" without the "94". I want to believe that there's no 60Ah...

Hey guys, long time lurker and am looking to get some info that i haven't seen being discussed at length. I'm coming from a 500e and have always been following the i3 as my next car and as luck would have it, that time might be coming sooner than later. I'm going to start a new job that will...
