Hi,
I got a 2014 i3 Rex. Recently I bought a 40 amp level 2 charger ("EVSE" to be technically correct!). The charger is hooked up to a dryer outlet with 30 Amp breaker. But my i3 is only charging at the max rate of 3.7 kw per hour. That is 240 V and 15 Amp Current. So the car is only accepting half of the power. I understand there should to be a charging setting option in my i3 iDrive menu where I could change the charging rates and toggle from Low to Reduced to Max. But the problem is my i3 does not have this option!! Anybody knows why my i3 doesn't have this setting? and what is the solution to get the car to charge at max rate without this setting?
Cheers,
