Yep 8A seems ridiculously low but if you search 8 amp Delphi charger you'll get some hits showing the Input/Output data label on the back. I'm not aware of any that went as high at 16. My 2017 came with a 12 amp but who knows if that was original to the car or something the dealership pulled out of ...

Yeah, was going to chime in that there are 8, 10, and 12 amp versions, so be choosy. I don't know how important it is to you to get a hold of one of the OE Delphi units. I mainly use a $180 Zencar that lets me select 6, 8, 10, 12, or 16 amps, delayed start in 2 hour increments, and dual voltage 120/...

I love the unique, "concept car" design aesthetic of the rear tailgate glass and accept that in trade it offers little functionality and no practicality. Unfortunate as it may be, in my four years around the various i3 groups, I have heard of no practical solutions to avoid replacing the e...

I bought my 2016 94aH 33kWh BEV in 2019. It's SOH was 28.6 kWh when I bought it. I record the SOH each month. The SOH has declined at a reasonably regular rate since mid 2019 to 27.4 kWh in mid 2023 (0.023% per month). In the last two months it has "fallen off the cliff" and is now at 26....

I have rebuilt my turbocord adapter when it broke. There are 2 thermal fuses inside and nothing else. It is real challenging soldering the thermal fuses without overheating the fuses. While an onboard thermal fuse is an added safety feature, it's not required by any electrical code and not necessar...

It's noticing more than a mismatched plug and socket, no wizardry contained inside. I've built these myself for dual-voltage EVSEs.

...or even a bent rim?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIP_lThJYWE Regarding Android Auto, there's a converter box out there that runs AA through a car's Apple Car Play. I briefly tried this about two years ago against the vendor's caution that it would not work with the i3, and as best I could tell in my short time with ...

July 2020: "Now a year later, the automaker announced that it is starting sales next month..."

Given that statement from the article, I'd say the only question is whether to order the car from Temu or Wish.

And when I say "the candy store" there's no confusion from my kids.

I assume that BMW is replacing these batteries under warranty. Any explanation for their short lives? Did your previous i3 burn through 12 V batteries as rapidly? Yes, so far. I don't know why. The first was replaced immediately after purchase. The car's programming was corrupt and needed to be fac...
