Hello NeilC, welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting your new i3! Apologies if you've had other EVs before and are aware of the following, but just to add on a bit here: The box that sits on your wall and delivers 120V / 240V to the car is technically referred to as an EVSE (Electric Veh...

This is a really interesting topic because steering feel and performance are high on my list when considering a car purchase. My first i3 was a new 2014 i3 BEV which I drove until upgrading to a 2021 i3s BEV. From my first test drive of the 2014 I was immediately impressed by the steering. Granted, ...

Hello dbrimley, and welcome to the forum! Have you had a chance to experience driving an i3 WITH the Pedestrian Sound Module? If not, I'd recommend seeing if you can find an i3s that has the option so you can determine if you are ok with it. My first i3 was a 2014 (which had no external sound module...

I've read descriptions of adaptive headlights not being adaptive in brighter conditions and at slower speeds.

Might the reason you're not se...

Hello johnnylingo –

The video you linked didn't play for me.

If you want to try opening the charge port cover, try pressing it and holding for a second or two.

3pete – My EV experience started in 2014 with an i3 BEV. It came with high-voltage DC fast charging (DCFC) at 50kW. In 2021 I upgraded by trading the 2014 BEV for a 2021 i3s BEV. Seven years newer and it still can only DC fast charge at 50kW. I don't drive many miles so the ability to fast-charge is...

Hello i3 world, I just picked up an 2014 Mega world REX with 125k miles. Battery kapa.max is showing 16.5 so I think the car will be in good shape for a while. Other cars are Chevy Bolt and Volt. I am fully addicted to EVs and could not pass up a sweet deal. Using this as an extra car/teens starter...
