    Warning sound for pedestrians

    If you drive below 30 km/h with the i3, you will hear a warning sound for pedestrians. Where does this sound come from. Is there a speaker somewhere or something? If yes, where? Anyone familiar with these details?

    communication with BMS

    Hello all, I have a 2014 i3-Rex. This one still has the 22 kWh battery. I would like to upgrade to the larger (almost double capacity) battery and use the old 22 kWh battery as a storage system in my house. In that case the BMS would need to communicate with a SMA Home Manager. The SMA Home...

    Rex Gas Cap Won't Open

    I solved the problem, by preventing the locking pin to be able to lock the gas cap cover. I used doublesided tape to stick a small metal plate in front of the pin, so that it can not move out anymore and cannot lock the gas cap cover. I only hope, the doublesided tape will be lasting a long...

    Oil change Rex

    I know that according to the maintenance schedule, I should change the oil and oil filter in my Rex every 2 years. However I seldom use the Rex. Most part of the running hours, are the automatic maintenance runs. I've driven about 106.000 km so far, from which about 1200 km with Rex (including...

    extending existing i3 with fast charging?

    Hello, I have a i3 Rex from 2014. I bought it with Rex because of "Range Anxiety" ...... Meanwhile, we have so many fast charging stations in Holland, that's no problem at all anymore. If we are driving a little further than usual, nowadays we are using my wife's VW E-Up (with fast charging...

    metal to metal sound

    Well, Finally, I know the cause of the sound. The motor mount bolts replacement had already been taken care off in the past. It was a motor support bracket at the underside of the motor. See photo: The rubber inside the bracket is normally vulcanised to the metal. This connection loosened...

    Question about max. charging power/current

    You may be right about this. So this means then, that I've got the wrong information on the German i3 forum. But then, what does the item on my invoice "Sterkere stroomvoorziening" (code 570) mean ??

    Question about max. charging power/current

    With the help from a German i3 forum I found out, that the item on my invoice "Sterkere stroomvoorziening" (code 570), means that I have the possibility to charge with 7.36 kW. So my question is answered. Thanks everyone for helping.

    Question about max. charging power/current

    Hello, I've got a question about the charging power of my i3 Rex (2014). I don't have the fast charging possibility on my i3 Rex. I usually charge the car by means of the home charger that was supplied with the car. It draws max. 10 Amps at 230V, so 2.3 kW. However when I connect my i3 to a...
