My i3 REx's EME failed and it has been replaced and I also received the latest software update which reduces the i3 charging levels to around 5.0 Kw/h.
Picked up the car on Thursday and now I find that the i3 will only charge immediately. The delayed charging function no longer operates.
I apologize for the long description below but...here goes:
1. With battery fully depleted (running on REX) I plugged the car in and it began to charge immediately which is normal -- except that it did not stop at around 10-14% charge as it should when I have a timed charge window setup for the evening.
2. I unplugged the car, checked the overnight settings and then re-plugged the car in again. This time the iRemote app showed "Charging Paused".
3. The i3 did not charge during the nightime time window (12:05pm to 5:55pm)...yes it was locked.
4. At 5:30am I noticed it had not charged and I pushed the lock button to look inside and see if there were any messages on the dash...the Level 2 charger clicked on and the i3 started to charge!
From there I performed a bunch of tests with the BMW Concierge but the i3 is ignoring the timed charging windows and every time I plug it in it immediately begins to charge.
Finally, I sent the charge window setup including pre-conditioning to the vehicle from the iRemote app. I validated that the information was received by the i3. I walked out into the garage and I could hear the A/C running and sure enough it was on full blast with the car locked and the i3 was NOT plugged in and the departure time I set was 2 hours away.
So I am at a loss --unless someone else is experiencing the delayed charging issues following the latest software update.
Thanks for the help.
