I don't think you can 'force a sync', you just have to sit it out and it's usually back within a couple of days. I've had it drop out a few times although it does seem to be getting better recently.

You won't regret it.

This is quite an interesting infographic looking at something similar with the Tesla (i.e. what speed to drive at on a long journey for fastest result). They tried 3 speeds and the middle speed was best. The i3 was in there too but obviously has to charge a lot more so total time was large in compar...

Now that's a good question

I haven't done enough running with the REx on to figure out the mpg's at the different speeds. I do know that 75mph seems to be the magic number for me where the battery will slowly start to deplete (generally flat roads, warm, dry).

There are only two settings to choose from.

I was in Durham last weekend for a few hours (parked in Claypath) but didn't see any i3's although I did see a solar orange one in Cullercoats a few weeks ago.

Hi Paul (& welcome), I'm a big fan of the ACC and despite it not being 'EV specific' I'd say it's my favourite feature of my i3. It's transformed how I drive by so much that I doubt I'll buy another new car without it. I have it turned on for the majority of my driving. Yes, if you want to enjoy you...

My delayed timer is inconsistent too and often the charging is starting too early. I have the 'Off-peak tariff' set for a 7 hour period overnight which is plenty of time to allow a full charge but it's regularly starting up to 90 mins early but not every time so I can't figure it out. It does the sa...

Interesting description of hill hold Tom. I don't find it engages automatically, what do other EU owners think after reading Tom's description? Mine engages automatically but it has changed how it works following a software update. Originally it would auto-engage, then after about 2 or 3 seconds it...

I've just checked again to make sure. It was reading 4.5kW, 19.1A, 237V (charging unit is the BMWi wallbox).
