This would be compatible with Canada, Mexico, and Australia i3s as well — any i3 with a CCS1 port.
It appears Wolfgang Kern has finally had enough of CCS1 owners bugging him for a charging port cover. In previous communications he declined to pursue this as the i3 program was coming to an early end in the US and he didn't believe there was sufficient consumer interest to spend time and money on its development.
For those of you not familiar, Wolfgang owns the Germany company Wokeby, the maker of the i3 trunk extension, a frunk cover, this charging port cover, and frunk inserts for a few other BMW EVs. I don't recall him running funding campaigns for his other endeavors, so my guess is this is sort of a "grass roots" type of experiment where he's gauging if the community interest really exists to go forward with this. He's got the engineering chops and product catalog to vouch for his work so I believe his fundraising goal and April 2025 delivery timeline are realistic.
Just for clarity I stumbled upon this campaign from a post by a member of an i3 Facebook groups, I'm not affiliated in any way with Wokeby, Wolfgang, or Indigogo. It appears the campaign was launched last week and runs a total of 60 days.
