I get that, but research strongly suggests that keeping EV batteries at 100% state of charge will impact long term battery capacity/range. I am hoping to preserve my range as long as possible and if all I have to do it adjust a setting on the vehicle or the charger, it seems like a worthwhile...

Thank you for the reply. I am hoping to find the best balance of keeping the battery cool vs. keeping it at a full state of charge too long. I may be overthinking it a bit, as the BMW engineers surely considered all this when designing the car! :) I keep a thermometer in the garage, it is...

More investigation is required. My i3 is back to charging to 100%, despite the charge settings adjusted to the lowest possible for 120 and 240v. I am somewhat disappointed as I liked being able to keep the vehicle plugged in all night to allow the batteries to self-cool in my hot garage, while...

Yes, when I change the settings back to 'Maximum', it will charge up to 100% like normal. The first time I noticed this, was after receiving a message on the Juicenet app saying 'Energy limit reached' or something along those lines.

I haven't seen this discussed before, so I thought that I would mention it. When I set both the 120v and 240v charging to their lowest setting, my i3 automatically stops charging at 85% or 87% capacity. Like others, I've been somewhat disappointed by the inability to avoid charging to a full...
