Good comments from several members on the history, etc. Using an “Lectron Tesla to J1772 EV Adapter | 250V | 48 Amp” adaptor – bought from Amazon -- I routinely use Tesla LEVEL 2 chargers with my 2021 i3. I have a Tesla Home Charger at home – our other car is a Tesla Model 3...

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to the thread. I have the BMW portable L1 and a Tesla L2 charger with the NACS-to-CCS Lectron adaptor at home (my other car is a Tesla, and I like them both, but I have come to LOVE the i3). I also successfully charged, briefly, just to test at a L3...

I would rather think, given the amazing engineering of the rest of the car, that they just opted for a modest, and flat charging "curve" rather than succumbing to the siren song faster charging below 80%.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, on so many things the "engineers took a different approach", which is part of the fantastic attraction of the car ...

Thank you! Will search.

Great feedback. And yes, I will be a "good citizen" especially on high-speed 350kW chargers like the EA unit I used this AM.

Wow. Great data. Thanks so much. Just getting in the swing and appreciate help from fellow i3 owners.

Thank you!!!

The standard advice for non-LFP batteries is to charge routinely to 80%. The very thoughtful and thorough engineers who designed the i3 have made this difficult. I can only conclude that their view is that customers should simply charge to 100% routinely. We have a 2021 i3 (i.e., the big...

Thanks for taking the time. Yes, Art (and you) have a helpful hint. Love the car.

Thank you so much for taking the time ... will try to stabilize the connection as you suggest.

Thank you ... will try as you suggested ... thanks for taking the time

I recently purchased a BMW Certified 2022 i3; we love the car. EVERYTHING WORKS great, but I cannot successfully DC fast charge at either EA or EVgo. Both connect, seem to see the car, take my credit card, but then the charging session aborts without any charge being transferred. I had the...

On the first point, we wanted a "city car" and we bought the best, BMW certified. A LOVELY 2021 example. And we are globsmacked. It is fantastic, a decade before its time, tragically misunderstood. On the "HELP" front, we recharge with both L1 and L2 chargers, but have never been able to...
