Do not worry about managing your charging. The car does it for you. It has a buffer at the top and will not let you charge to a true 100%. Just plug it in and leave it. DC fast charging every day for years might cause some degradation, but it is not worth worrying about in my opinion. The...

"During my test drive at this deal, the battery was about 2%." This is beyond ridiculous. No person in their right mind would try to sell an EV that was not charged up and ready to go. This is like looking at a gas guzzler for sale with an empty fuel tank and a gallon of gas in a can in the...

Also, that dealer must not want to sell the car if they don't keep it fully charged while on the lot.... either that, or they are just ignorant about EVs.

Your REX should not come on automatically unless you are below about 8% battery, or it needs to run a maintenance cycle from not being used for about two months or so. In any event, they are NOT very noisy when sitting unless it has been run very hard for a while and then you stop.... whereupon...

Art, I believe the destination chargers offer 11kw or so... of course our i3s are limited to 7.7kw on level 2.

The battery capacity icon is selected by going through the menu when you push the button on the end of the turn signal stalk.

I find that while using the navigation you get pretty good range estimation and it tends to fudge on the side of caution, and gets more accurate the closer you are to your destination. Doesn't a 2016 i3 have a 60ah battery, by the way?

I bought a Tesla Tap. Nicely made. I tried it out at a Tesla Destination Charger and it worked great. You have to put the adaptor on the Tesla plug and wait for it to be recognized before plugging it into your car. I also carry a 24amp Clipper Creek EVSE with a NEMA 14-50 plug for camp...

Non-networked stations will not show up.

Well, silly me. It turns out I was not pushing hard enough on the left arrow of the center control button to access the menu choices on the left side of the screen. Working well now, but I did notice there is still a gas station listed near me that has been defunct for years. Also cannot get...

Thanks Art, I have gone through all the menu choices (as far as I can determine) and zoomed in and out and can find no options for the map appearance. As I mentioned mine looks different than the pictures I see posted. Bland muted colors and no details beyond streets... can't be right.

Hi all, I ordered the updated nextmaps on ebay and purchased a lifetime code. It arrived on a memory stick, and I was able to install it. My menu tells me I have the latest maps installed now. It looks exactly the same as before... which is to say nearly colorless and without nearby charging...

It is completely unnecessary to second guess the engineers who designed the car by stopping charging below 100%. With the built in battery management software, upper and lower limits on the batteries are designed in. It is like only filling a gas guzzler up part way. The software does not...

Maybe try using some needle nose pliers with tape wrapping the jaws to protect the surface of your phone? They make little grabber devices as well. Not sure what they are called.

If you do not have Hold State Of Charge enabled, it will not come on until your battery is at about 7%.. at least on my 2015. Perhaps the battery percentage it automatically comes on at is lower on the larger battery 2017? You should code HSOC and go from there. Miles remaining on the...

In the right side rear door opening, bottom rear corner, there is a black foam cover with two small logos showing the charge flap door release and the charge cord lock release pulls. Pull that off and they are underneath.

I hope you strapped those bricks down. They might kill you even in a small accident!

I would drive anywhere at any time with my 2015 Rex. The most I have driven in one day was 515 miles and I could have gone longer.

"moot" not "mute" :)

Have you got the plugshare app on your phone? If you set the filters for the plugs that work on your car, you will see what is available along routes you wish to take. Read the comments to see how reliable the stations are. With a REX you should have no worries.
