Hey 3pete,
Great questions! At the moment, the Connected Drive doesn't allow us to view battery capacity directly and currently other brands don't allow this remotely either. Though OBDII connections for certain brands, like Leafs with Leafspy seem to be able to give this info. When someone...
Hi Mark,
Sorry that you are having a hard time connecting. If you would like to try and see if we can figure this out, feel free to email [email protected] and I can connect you with our connection team.

I definitely understand your concern around this.
Recurrent may have an opportunity later in the 2021 to participate manually in the research where you don’t need a subscription. I'm happy to keep this forum in the loop as well as post cool updates.

Hi MKH,
We hope that one day manufacturers will join us! I also think that there is some value to third party validation as well. The study is a partnership between a start up, academic workers (like myself), and national lab workers. This personally won't go into my PhD dissertation. We...
Hi,
Sorry about the confusion. I made a mistake in my post and we had a documentation error regarding BMWi3s on our FAQ. Turns out we can accept 2014 and later BMWi3s (2014 to present). The short explanation is that we are limited by the telematics that car manufactuers put into their own...
MKH and Art,
I think I have figured out what is going on here. Long story short, I made a mistake for specifically BMW i3s. BMWi3 should be compatible for 2014 and later models (2015 and on). It is the rest of the BMW models that don't have the right hardware and software to be accessed by...
Hi Mark,
Sorry about that. I should have mentioned the model year requirement in the original post. I edited it to reflect that. Thanks for the heads up. We are looking into ways to include folks that don't match the criteria for remote connection so keep an eye out for that!
Best,

Thanks for signing up Art! I'm excited to hear what you think about your first report and I hope we can help with figuring out the difference between the two modes of range loss that you mention. What we suspect is that if anything, the i3 is likely opening up your usable capacity window as the...
Hi BMW EV and PHEV Community,
I’m Jon, a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering specializing in electrochemistry at the University of Washington. I’m working with folks at a new company in Seattle, Recurrent, with a goal of helping electric vehicle (EV) buyers understand the battery health and...
