I got just over 17,000 miles out of the rears (175 x R19 size) on my i3 BEV which I got last April. The fronts are about 1,000 miles or so away from needing to be replaced. Any other experience on tyre life yet? This seems quite low mileage based on some of the comments on the Bridgestone...

I had the infamous software upgrade last August on my April '14 BEV and this detuned the KLE to c 5kW max charge rate, as expected. I'd also read that a new KLE is available, a couple of months ago I think, but having heard nothing from BMW I just took the car to my dealer. The genius there...

I just used the brand new CCS charger at the Extra services near Cobham on the M25 (between J10 and 9). Fantastic! :D It's an Ecotricity charger so all I needed was my smart card. Hooked the car up showed it the card and off it went. Pretty cool to see it pushing 110A/400V into the car and it...

So I tested my range to destruction today (BEV). Partly to see what happens although I didn't actually intend to end up calling BMW recovery to get the car home! Starting with a 73 mile range I'd done a 62 mile round trip then decided to do a c12 mile trip but followed a satnav instruction onto...

The i3 has no congestion charge :D BUT you have to pre-register with TFL and pay a £10 fee :( See http://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/ultra-low-emission-discount-application-form.pdf If you just drive in to London without registering the car you will have to pay. And have...
