    How many have had the drive train malfunction error?

    this is a manafacture problem with condensation and bad design! even out of warranty this would be a warranty case IMO. is this moisture and rex shutdown a 2014 i3 problem or is this also present in the 2015 and up models?

    Charging overhead - why L1 is so inefficient.

    GREAT well i did have lower temp. 12c ( 53,6f ) that would account for a lower watts per km/mile in my case compared to yours. is was also cloudy and of course we can not simulate the exact road conditions and stoplights etc. i guess elevation is not that important because it is a electric...

    Charging overhead - why L1 is so inefficient.

    o i forgot The volt reported 24,8km and 2700-2800watt/h its only displays 2.7 so it can be almost 2.8 thats a calculated 2700 to 2800 / 24,8 = 108,87 to 112,9 watt per km. the i3 reported 24,8km and 11.2kwh/100km or 112 watt per km. and at the socket after charging 3300 for the I3 en 3200...

    well the volt is a lot lower.... not good when you have a bad back. the trip was 24,8 and a average speed in km/h of 37.8 the trip lasted round trip 40min

    i did charge my i3 and volt when i drove them both for the same distance and same route on the same day the volt took 3200 watt and the i3 took 3300 watt.... :shock:

    BMW i3 – batteries and charging solutions

    thx for your reply. so it charges to 97% and then not lower then 10%... the battery pack is about 50% bigger then the volts battery pack ( 16kwh firs model year ) so the amount of enegry at 20% of the volt battery pack would be the same as 15% with the i3 right? so its only 5% lower then the...

    battery change

    strange all other ev's have 160.000km or 8 years so wy did bmw only provide 100.000km? are they not confident they can provide a 160.000 warranty on the battery and wy is this 100.000 in the EU where in USA they do have 160.000km ( 100.000miles ) strange.

    BMW i3 – batteries and charging solutions

    really have to pump this topic. when the i3 got 22,600watthours. and 18.800 is usable that 87% right? so there is a window of just 13% not used for life durability what i read from other ev's they normally dont discharge below 20% and never above 90% so they reserve 30%... not 13% so how are...

    Where does the headlight power come from?

    600 watts but with all the other stuff i geuss up to 1000watt is what to expect.

    Where does the headlight power come from?

    the volt was build from the ground up as a range extended vehicle. the 12 volt do not crank the generator just provide the power for the communication to have the generator started from the high voltage. i geuss the i3 will have a little less dc-dc power and ofcourse the smaller gastank will...
