I have had an i3REX for a few months now and picked up a MB B Class Electric two days ago.
I have a current monitoring system from "The Energy Detective" installed in my circuit breaker for the EVSE (BMW Wall Box Pure, rated at 7.2KW).
The power consumption curve when charging the BMW, even when cool, goes up only to about 5.9KW. My measured voltage is 238V. After the car is charged to 85 SOC, the power take up is reduced exponentially so that the remaining 15% takes another 75 to 90 minutes.
When charging the MB, the power take up is close to the rated 7.2KW and stays there all the way till the last two minutes when it ramps down to shut down.
I know about the KLE issue, but right now the BMW charging system is pathetic in comparison.
