Retrofit!!!

hello Had BEV I3 for 8 months and all fine and dandy with no issues, however last week or so the passenger mirror has stopped 'dipping' when in reverse plus Nav crashes and re-boots whilst in use. Anyone else seen/had this + any pointers/known issues before I call the dealer? ta

lets discuss...

isn't danger a good thing? Why go through life with safe/understood/calm/controlled/secure/ Isn't that the point of something like an I3, if I do lose control when driving it and take out a dog and myself then I'm happy in the knowledge it will be in an I3 and not a Ford Focus

...and also you never know peoples individual circumstance....they may have to raise some urgent cash/looking for quick sale....

and relax....timer clock for elec meter was 10 hours behind...so day usage was being charged as night and vice versa...so this explains why what I thought should be increased night usage through car charging actually was counting as day. Nice people from EDF have installed new elec meter & bill...

Hi All Just had first bill through from EDF since purchased I3 and was a bit shocked to say the least that they wanted to increase monthly DD by 71% (£50) to cover new usage and top next 6 months as current DD payments over last 6 months do not cover actual usage. I think I've read before...

hello I've swapped over the full beam to 'whiter' bulb, no probs. Also got some LED's for indicators but seemed to have trouble of disconnecting/getting into the current bulbs. Did not seems as easy as swapping over the full beam and did not want to get too heavy handed...any advice/steps to...

Yes you are right, I'm sorry.

+100!

all seems logical/simple to set up but keep getting this message...any help/point towards similar issue on the forum much appreciated It's a gmail account, IMAP is enabled - don't think I'm missing anything obvious. Error when connecting to incoming mail server (please check settings)

Having 1st issues with charging after 6 weeks...it's all a bit weird this one, so any answers/guidance would be appreciated? Normal practice is off peak charging with pre-condition + departure time which varies when I need to charge at home but normally between 7.30 - 8.30 depending on the day...

flights are booked for me & car

But does not sound like DC is such an new thing that 'clever' people cannot sit round a table and say 'look we know it has these challenges (size, environment, heat, cost etc), but here are the solutions which improve reliance' (whatever they maybe) if it comes down to cost (initial & ongoing)...

to maximise I3 range where is the perfect place in the world to live? Temperature wise & gradient wise? I keep thinking/dreaming a city/daily route with plenty of climbs/drops at whatever optimal temperature is through day/night could mean 3 figure range (BEV only) If the place does not exist...

whats general view of the issues with reliance of ecotricity (and others in UK)? Is the tech that different, new, ground-breaking? Electricity is not a new thing, nor is plugging 'stuff' in....am I missing some special new tech from a DC point of view?

thanks, just so I'm clear then...fast AC will not work (eg - i won't get 30min charge up to 80%) on i3 (as max is 7.4kw), so if I want fast charge I need to find DC (which I had added as extra). If i think about (don't do much of that)...then explains why DC is offered as extra (why would we...

Interesting chat with Ecotricity today... Was using a 'Fast' AC charger (marketed as 43kw,63a) in Ikea Croydon. 1.9 kw/h in 60 mins - so not even a trickle! I called them up when got back to work and they said best to see what issue is when connected up, so went back after work and gave them a...
