Ecotricity also give me a £40 discount per year since I own an electric car. In addition, they now let me use their CCS pumps for free. These figures are not included in the above costs and would lower them even further. I also own solar panels (generation effect is not included in the consumption ...

I've already acquired a set of after market LED bulbs to see if it makes my car any better when it arrives.

Which ones, and from where?

I've just taken delivery of a new i3 94Rex :D , with the "sport" pack, which includes HK sound, choice of wheels, tinted glass, and LED headlights. It was the latter which decided me to splash out, because the halogen main beam headlights on my previous i3 were abysmal. Imagine my horror i...

I've got a Rolec 32amp...

Mine says it's 32Amp, but I measured 27.5Amps at maximum rate!

t's on it's way albeit with a wait. White Rex with Sport pack, pro media and parking Early September for delivery. Ditto, but grey metallic (whatever that's called). I'd have liked Solar Orange again, but the replacement is a horrible :cry: metallic blue which doesn't, IMHO, "suit" the ca...

Thanks, guys. I stand corrected.

There has been discussion elsewhere about whether the 2017MY car has CarPlay. The local iGenius seems unaware of how it works, so I hope this helps - for a 2014 car. I have an iPhone 6s, and found that it shows no available cars in the list when I select Settings/General/CarPlay. :cry: It also sugge...

CarPlay. The i3 infotainment system is weak at best and more often just annoying. Apple lists "BMW Group" as a partner, but BMW has not yet announced a car that will incorporate CarPlay. How about the new i3? That's interesting. I have an iPhone 6s, and found that it shows no available ca...

I have measured the actual currents supplied by the EV and the OUC. The EV maximum current is exactly 29.5Amps (which falls as the battery approaches full charge). The OUC maximum current is 9.5Amps (exactly 1/3 of the EV value) and also falls as full charge is approached. The power is not "max...
