Hiya, Mine was produced via 'Electrified', but what app do you use to produce those figures?

My tuppenny's worth on my battery health, 8 years on, 90,500 miles and most recent 100% charge. Basically, I treat it right, and I'm not too worried about future degradation.

Well, I can confirm at least that BMW are no longer sending out zero charge schedules, i.e. erasing anything you've set back to charge immediately instead. I can now use the car schedule instead of the wall charger scheduling at last. It's great to have a warm car, and a battery warmed up and...

This is on my list for next year on my i3 rex, which has been grand, I just wish it wasn't quite so reactive to every road imperfection. Luton isn't so far away that I can make it with just one recharge stop. Just saving up now!

Earlier this year (June or July) I put four Michelin e-primacy tyres on for about what Madelvic said. Cost me around £600 in the UK. Quite happy with them so far. Can't tell any difference in efficiency mileage, but they do seem marginally quieter. You could also get Continental & Nankang brands...

My thoughts exactly. Definitely keeping mine anyway though. At 8yrs, 90,000 miles, I still get 130/100 summer/winter miles.

I went down this wheel colour route too. Though we don't get winters like we used to, so I stuck with e-primacy tyres.

Reading this has led me to realise this has (is) happening with my i3 as well. I too have 'paused' Intelligent control of my vehicle. Now I rely on the time scheduling of my PodPoint charger instead. We're lucky enough that the 6hr cheap window we have is more than enough to charge my 33(28)...

I've had similar issues since September. For me though it has stemmed from lengthening my charge cable from 10 to 12.5m. A charge schedule would be set, but then ignored at some random time, and if I didn't notice then I charged at top rate! I enquired with Octopus, and they have said that there...

Yeah, I was suspicious about such an easy seeming job too. Hopefully will be many years before I even have to start considering it... The British eBay chap seems like a better bet all round.

For the 25 years previous to owning my i3 I drove small diesel cars (various Corsas, Fiestas, and Citroen C3's), for the economy they would get, i.e. anything from 65-70 mpg (in the UK), which gave me a range of up to 700 miles per tank. Useful when commuting 500 miles a week, and at a cost of...

I had trouble initially with my PodPoint charger re it's current output. It's on a 32A circuit but needs a 40A fuse for startup. Then it has to have an internet connection to comply with UK regs about smart charging. Without that last mine would only charge at 16A not 32A.

I know of the Czech guy Havrla, but came across this YouTube video recently. No indication of cost, just the suggestion of a 54Kwhr battery and 400km range. I asked, and they replied that they're using CATL modules, probably same as Havrla once suggested he was looking into. Also not mentioned...

Now, it'd be interesting to know if he's into the coding as well when batteries are swapped out. He'd have a whole new business if he wanted to.

Hi. I only use four of these;- (1) tyre pressures and temperatures, (2) Nav screen, (3) current trip computer totals, incl driving efficiencies, (8) Hold State of Charge when below 75%. I write these down as a memory aid, because they are deleted if I ever code my car for any reason, then I can...

When I bought my i3 rex (4yrs old) I hit the extension warranty, about £300 at the time. In the first year they replaced the drivers side seat heater (£650), and in the second year replaced the main nav screen (£2250). So it was well worth the warranty cost to me. On the latter screen...

I'm UK based. On those two road trip days it was mild (14-16 degC), but quite windy. Plus, for around a quarter to a third of the trip it was raining heavily, with spray, on our motorways. The latter I know drags down efficiency. I use 'eco pro' mode most often, and cruise control where it's...

It maybe that the cars software is too old to allow it, but I'll ask next time I'm at the dealer for a service.

That would be nice! I think my roadtrip figure would have been higher, and closer to my usual average, if it hadn't been for a significant portion of the trip with rain/spray. This last I know affects range downwards.
