    ISTA Install Help

    The other thing I noticed and confirmed was when using the electrified app, the BMS is artificially deflating the percentage without any doubt, as I can see now the voltages and state of balance (and in my case its within a 10th of a volt from highest to lowest), and when charging to less than...

    ISTA Install Help

    Hey there...When I got the dealer to to a diagnosis, I wanted to know how much time the rex has been run (the computer keeps a log time of this), and thats what they told me, however they wouldnt tell me anything else as they said they dont share error codes or anything like that with customers...

    DC Fast charging issue

    Thanks for the reply..Well when they supposedly fixed the locking mechanism and charged me $630 , I got it home and while charging on AC I locked the car but the charger handle wouldnt lock to the car, (but my wife's i3 does) so, I complained and told them they need to fix properly as I think...

    Charging to 80% capacity

    I installed electrify and found out some very interesting things about my pack. I have 6 years experience building lithium packs and know a thing about these cells. My 2015 i3 with 72000 kms had a KAPPA reading of anywhere from 16.2 to 14.9. I also noticed after a dealer update that the pack...

    DC Fast charging issue

    Ok, I just picked up this 2015 BMWi3 with 72000 kms on it. When I went to DC fast charge it wound not work. I went to another station and same thing. I called the dealer who I bought the car from and he said to call BMW, which I did. They tested and the charger reported that the car was not...

    From 84% to 78% suddenly

    hey there I have a 2015 BMW i3, my third. My wife has a 2014. I had the same thing and was wondering why the battery would behave this way. It turns out after I used the electrify app that the battery itself was rock solid, it was the BMW that was reporting the percentage and obviously this is a...

    New software update

    Thanks for the reply. Ya after looking at the voltages, the % the car is telling me is obviously a calculation. I can get between 110 and 120 kms at 90 KPH and easily get 150 kms in the city so im happy. Now if I can get the DC fast charging fixed. I bought this car 10 days ago and if you lift...
