Great review of your ownership so far. I currently drive a hybrid and not ready to go full EV, but always liked the i3 and have considered the range extender. I agree the design was way ahead of it's time and probably wouldn't date any time soon
u should press that little butten on the right side of screnn for 5 seconds ... and then enter the last 5 digets of the "fahrgestellnummer" as "ergebniss der Quersumme" .. so u could kill off the torquerestriction till 15mph.... should be fun with full torque from 0
We have an i3 for short trips around town, mostly school drop offs. Summer range is about 370km, winter range only 105km. Full charge at home costs 1-2$ depending on hour of the day and demand. It is a great second or third car.
@@MrDesmonick never heard of of is, but after scraping the octopus website - it’s a valid tariff. QUICK delete the post before to many people will jump on the wagon and octopus pulls the offer out of the market
@@MrDesmonick it looks like “their charger” can charge the car at any time, but the 7.5p is only for other things at late night hours - can you confirm ?

Recntly as a second EV we bought the i3s - I love this little car specially the turning circle.
It's a great town/city car, and not bad on the Motorway 👍
Love em in red and black.
I think the red/black were the last of the S models?
@@MrDesmonick i have an i3s, i think its called Mebourne red. great car
Thanks for letting us know your experience with the i3
No worries 👍 😁

Thanks! For my mileage the BEV is perfect, without the added maintenance of an ICE 'generator'.

I'll take a look, thanks! 👍
Been driving my i3 for 6 years this month. I still love it.
It is hard on tires though so beware.
@@300rivers4 yes, expecting tyres on a regular basis. But they're not as expensive as the one's for my 911!

That's a big range difference! Yes, a great little car 👍
Great vid. Can that yoke take a roof rack for bikes, canoes etc.
I have seen a roof rack on one, but I'm not sure how it's fitted. I don't think BMW do one?
So drivers slow down for runners because they're running in the middle of the road. Seems effective to me.
As long as they see them in time it's fine! I personally wouldn't run in the middle of a main road though!
that shit would be a death sentence in the states. You’d get the cops called on you within 5 minutes
Which part? Running in the middle of the road?
@@MrDesmonick yes running in the middle of the road. That NEVER happens in the states.
7.5p / kWh ?!?!?! whre do you live mate ? I pay 30.6 / kWh in essex :(
That's my overnight rate at home with Octopus Intelligent Go 👍 I think my day rate is about 27p?

It's their standard EV charging tariff! Make sure if you use a 'proper' charger, it's compatible with their system 😉

I let it do its own thing. It charges my car overnight at the cheap rate. I get home, plug it in, and forget about it!
I don't do huge miles, sonI charge off the granny charger on a properly installed EV rated plug/wiring.
It shouldn't happen here! Bloody dangerous 😳
