....EV charger! My nearest CCS charger has been off for a little while. Ecotricity have just found the fault. https://twitter.com/elechighway/status/596677458755194880

What quite a bit of fun. https://youtu.be/PogJaJgyONk

Well the computer says mostly no! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hq7-Pb2_P8

Well not really a crash. After a successful trip to London I hit the M4 home, then started hearing a rattling from the rear, VERY rattly like gravel in a box! Carried on for a bit and the rattle got no better. Stopped at services and had a look round the back... the glass panel was shattered and...

Driving from Swindon to Bristol yesterday and needed to charge whist there to make it home. Have previously parked at Cabots circus and used their free 13amp sockets, however as they are so slow, only just gave me enough to get home. Bristol has lots of polar/ source west points in other car...

Heading east on M4 yesterday and exited a very wet and rainy jct 15. Stopped at the lights before turning left, which is a big long left handed sweeper onto a dual carriage way. As I was nearly home I lost a few acceleration stars as the light went green and (wrecklessley) kept my boot in on...

Opened the frunk to get charging cable out and put keys down here... What was I thinking!! Shut bonnet and..... arrgh! Keys are still in frunk area? How do I get it open? Car unlocked but no way of opening the bonnet, with now inaccessible key (I don't have the in-cabin buttons). Luckily I...

Looking forward to getting my hands on it and so are the kids. Insurance - check GAP - check Kids- check train ticket - check A drive in the i8 whilst there - check. Will let you know how it goes.

Just spotted this, doesn't look like they want much of a premium to jump the queue, maybe £1k? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201405204355528

As above has anyone tried using a D-can cable and the above software to have a look at the i3's computers. Has the software been updated to speak to an i3? (I'm considering the possibility of turning on enhanced bluetooth post delivery)

http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=2e205e9bbdbea814f7a00ba2b&id=bc5441cc99&e=ac96efe7e8 Sounds really promising from Ecotricity, this is on top of the CCS DC chargers that have just been installed by CYC in Northumberland...

The numbers are in and here they are; EUROPEAN Sales for Jan 2014 1,243 - Nissan Leaf 439 - Volvo V60 Plug In Hybrid (this one is not a proper EV as far as I'm concerned!) 398 - Volkswagen e-Up! 389 - BMW i3 354 - Smart Fortwo ED Article can been seen here...

...just the clarify the location of the heat pump option, as there has been a lot of talk that the heat pump goes where the REX engine lives. Check out these technical drawings http://realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?model=1Z22&mospid=56088&hg=64&fg=18 ...and it's clear the heat pump and gubbins are...

As above, is it weather tight? I've seen a couple of photo's from UK tests and it looked as though it had got wet and dirty in there. Nearest dealer is 30 miles way so can't pop in to look

Just listening to radio 4 and there is a big article on 'You and Yours' about electric cars and the i3 specifically. Check it out here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03szwt1

Just ordered an electric only i3 from Oxford BMW - Media Pack, Winter pack, tinted windows and alloy upgrade. 3 year lease through company 6 x 35 = £365 month The waiting begins. Mr. S.

Just about to press the order button on an i3 electric only after a very positive test drive. However the one option I'm not sure on it the DC rapid charge preparation. As far as I can tell all the DC fast chargers in the UK are CHAdeMO and incompatible with the i3's DC plus which I think is...
