    Ambient lighting stays ON!

    They were ON for over three hours before we noticed that they were still ON. This morning, I UNLOCKED the car to disconnect the charging cable using the remote key fob. I DID NOT open the cars' door. Just disconnected the charging cable and shut the access door. I looked inside the car, and YES...

    Ambient lighting stays ON!

    Today, my 2014 i3 Rex developed a problem with the ambient (mood) lighting. I noticed that the LEDs that are directly below the main display AND the ones in the INTERIOR door handles remains ON unless I lock the car. If it's not locked, those LED lamps remain ON indefinitely. Anyone else...

    Immediate charging even when off-peak charging is scheduled.

    Exactly! I hope you are not referred to as being a "nannie" as I was in one of the posts on this topic! I guess it's easier to insult those who experience abnormal behavior of features we expect to perform as stated, especially when they have no logical or documented answer!

    Immediate charging even when off-peak charging is scheduled.

    My entire point is really the fact we are left to guessing when it comes to how the REX actually functions! As Owners, we should know (i.e. the Owner's Manual) exactly when the REX will activate and have a way to monitor how much excess energy we are using at any point in time if the REX can't...

    Immediate charging even when off-peak charging is scheduled.

    When operating an EV, there are many different operational considerations that must be made versus having a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle...with SOC being #1 on people's minds! Suddenly finding oneself in a potentially life-threatening situation that you were never informed of shouldn't be...

    Immediate charging even when off-peak charging is scheduled.

    As I mentioned in my original post, I DID NOT activate the "Preconditioning" function, so that did not come into play here.

    Immediate charging even when off-peak charging is scheduled.

    Since I left home with 100% of charge and had traveled 20 miles of the 73 it showed when leaving home @ 100% charged, the Level 1 charger (120v) should have been able to complete charging back to 100% in about 5 hours (4 miles of range per hour of charging) which is what the occasional charger...

    Immediate charging even when off-peak charging is scheduled.

    Yesterday, I came home around 9pm. My i3 Rex had 53 miles of electric range remaining. I plugged in my occasional use charger, expecting the solid blue illumination indicating the charge would be paused until the off-peak time range was reached. Instead, the blue light was blinking, indicating...

    Any U.S. owner who has the Smokers Package option...

    Got it off! Thanks for all the quick responses.

    Any U.S. owner who has the Smokers Package option...

    Could you be more specific? I don't want to break it by pulling too hard. Your previous response ended with IIRC which I do not know what that meant. Sorry, but I am a newbie in case it's a commonly known abbreviation.

    Any U.S. owner who has the Smokers Package option...

    Though I am not a smoker, my 2014 i3 REX was equipped with the optional "Smoker's Package". The ashtray/cup nests in a holder directly underneath the center armrest. Though the device will come out of the holder, my question is if the holder itself can be removed and attached to one of the...
