Hi guys! New user here - probably one of 5-6 total in Russia... They say I'm crazy :roll: when decided to try i3. EV's are very rare here.
Anyway, I've picked one with REX this from dealer in Moscow, loaded into container and it should start its 5weeks journey this weekend all the way across Russia by railway to Sakhalin island (Pacific ocean coast, right north of Japan). I expect it will face -15 -10C (5-15F) on average during the entire trip.
I realize it will effect battery efficiency in long term, but my concern and question is how bad? Or only I can tell when start actively driving it?
I wonder how BMW and dealers hanle this issue in northen countries like Canada, Norway. Or they always provide heated storage/deliveries and/or constant charge? Thanks!
