    Upgrade battery.

    JamesinLondon. You're so right, I'll be keeping mine for the forseeable..😎

    Upgrade battery.

    Based on my average miles/kwhr, I'd get something over 200 miles before the Rex cut in, assuming about 45kwhr usable. Which is similar safety buffers on my 33kwhr battery (27.5 usable). This really would make me rethink replacing my i3 for a higher range car in the future. I'd much rather...

    Upgrade battery.

    A 53 kwhr battery would be super news, please do keep us posted also on your plans for the other foreign 'branches' of your company. When recoding a car to accept an increased capacity, do you keep the BMW depletion & charge limits to protect the battery, e.g. users will see around 45 out of...

    Intelligent Octopus and 2018 94h i3

    Another thing to consider, after a recent experience of mine, is as and when you change app passwords. I did this as part of a new phone and changed all my passwords. The MyBMW app worked fine, so too did the IO app, well to all appearances anyway. However, IO suddenly stopped detecting my car...

    Is GeniePoint 11Kw charging being overstated?

    I use a bluetooth ODB2 dongle to monitor AC charging power, along with the 'Electrify App'. This shows the amount of battery actually charged, charging rate, along with lots of cell voltage, SOC, SOH info etc. In that instance above, % at start of charge was less than 25%. Then the 15Kwhrs...

    My Black Beauty, i3 94Ahr Rex

    I've owned a '66 plate 2017, 94Ahr Rex for three years now. In this time I've seen the seasonal variance in range, from 100 to 135 miles electric, and 70 to 100miles on the Rex. My personal record for distance, without the Rex cutting in, is 132 miles with 9% battery still left. I drive evenly...

    Is the i3 going to be as 'cult' as the Original Beetle when production stops?

    I agree. I've already had comments from fellow ramblers about the fact that they think I've got a future classic car. It is by far the most powerful car I've ever owned in both sheer horsepower or Hp/ton ratio. I would have loved to see a final iteration of the tech up to the fairly commonly...

    Is GeniePoint 11Kw charging being overstated?

    I have noticed this on a few occaisions whilst using a GeniePoint charger. I know my car (BMW i3 94Ahr) can charge at up to 11kW connected to a 3-phase 22Kw charger. Indeed the charger in question seems to deliver exactly that, at around 10.5-11Kw. However, and here lies my conundrum, my car...

    i3 HV Battery Upgrade

    I have a 2016 - 94Ahr REX, but would definitely be interested in the 40 or 69 Kwhr upgrade versions once my battery warranty is expired. Gives me the time to save up in the meantime. I've also heard about the LYON battery techniology, but didn't know why their systems were excluded from private...

    New REX owner

    Hi, I'm a first time BMW owner and I chose a late 2016 94Ah REX less than a year ago. The maintenance cycle for the REX has only run a couple of times as prompted by the car when I have been electric only for several weeks at a time. However, my car allows me to go via the menu and prompt the...
