The Electric BMW i3: February 2015
http://bmwi3.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
The Electric BMW i3. Monday, February 23, 2015. Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? One of the things many of us EV drivers are guilty of, is plugging in whenever we have the opportunity to. We may not even need the extra range, but if there is an available 240V EVSE, or even a simple 120V outlet, and we're going to be at that location for a while, it's just too tempting not to plug in and grab some electrons while we're there.

The Electric BMW i3. Friday, August 22, 2014. BMW i3 REx vs Chevy Volt: My Take. Last week I was contacted by High Gear Media Senior Editor, John Voelcker and asked if I had interest in doing a head to head comparison piece between my i3 REx and a Chevy Volt. Green Car Reports contributor David Noland (who happens to own a Volt and a Model S) wanted to pit the Volt against an i3 REx and asked John to reach out to me and find out if I was up for it. The interior of the Volt. The interior of the i3. Table ...

The Electric BMW i3: Featured EV Product: The JLong
http://bmwi3.blogspot.com/2015/03/featured-ev-product-jlong.html
The Electric BMW i3. Saturday, March 21, 2015. Featured EV Product: The JLong. The charging stations at the parking garage in Montclair, NJ are frequently ICE'd. This is a common problem across the country. Quick Charge Power has a solution: The JLong. ICE-ing is an epidemic. When an EV owner pulls up to a charging station and a gas car is parked there, they call it being "ICE'd," referencing the I. A) Wait for the person to move their car so you can pull into the space and plug in. To illustrate how the...

The Electric BMW i3: June 2014
http://bmwi3.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The Electric BMW i3. Monday, June 23, 2014. After 2,000 Miles Part Two: Dislikes. I took this picture from an i3 display at the LA Auto Show. Somehow 100 miles turned into 82 miles once the production i3 was revealed. Looks like the battery is 3 and 3/16th's out of 4 bars full. Wonderful. No Proper State of Charge Gauge. Like the MINI-E before it, the ActiveE had a clear state of charge and battery temperature display. It's puzzling why both of these important features were omitted on the i3. I admit the...

The Electric BMW i3: BMW i3: Understanding How Preconditioning Works
http://bmwi3.blogspot.com/2015/03/bmw-i3-understanding-how.html
The Electric BMW i3. Monday, March 16, 2015. BMW i3: Understanding How Preconditioning Works. Setting the preconditioning feature from the i3's iDrive is simple, but not as intuitive as I believe it could be. You can set the time of departure for every day of the week and the i3 will be charged, preconditioned and ready, provided you're charging from a proper 240v, level 2 electric supply. OK, so it's clear preconditioning is useful, but do you really know how it works on your i3? This is a very importan...
