A number of forum members (in sunnier climes) want to charge their i3s from solar panels. So you'd need 7 Kw of solar power continuously for over 3 hours to charge the car. That's a huge acreage of solar panels. Is anybody considering using solar power to feed the DC rapid charging circuit...

I thought the i3 had power-folding door mirrors (essential to get it into my garage). But I can't find any reference to how to activate this, and the word 'folding' doesn't appear anywhere in the owner's manual. So how do they work?
