    Tesla Owner and EV enthusiast tries out BMW i3 for 4 days

    Because it's a dealer ("Honest" motor, dealer since 1964) not Nissan the company! Introducing a model which wasn't their bread and butter was a hard decision for them. To consider the pricing model first assumption would be quantity ... it turned out that they were correct i.e. 4 years ago...

    85D range

    My observation after using v7 is that the "typical range" is now very (have to bold this) accurate. My 90% "typical range" used to be around 360-364km however I always have to discount this number. Now I found that 90% typical range is 340km, initially I thought "what the ..." is that...

    HKEV Airport Charger summary

    It's a CLP CHAdeMO station, it's good for LEAF, Mitsubishi ... etc and Tesla if you bought an adapter. It's rated at 50kW and you could only top up 25kWh each time.

    Charging with a standard BS1363 (household 3 prong) socket - review

    It's slow if you compare 13A with supercharger. However the beauty of EV is that everywhere with a plug is a "gas station" there is nothing better than refueling while the car isn't in motion, e.g. I top up 20-21% (10A) while at work. The car isn't moving anyway, imagine that every parking...

    Driver door handle not working

    If you aren't driving alone then you could ask your front seat passenger to help you open from inside. I hope you haven't yet got center console installed yet or else it'll be very clumsy to climb over. I guess it's not the handle itself (extending is OK) that isn't working it must be...

    Windshield washer not working?

    Have you tried pressing the button harder at the end of the stalk? I heard report saying it wasn't working but that guy didn't realize that button is of 2 steps, first for one stroke wiper second (harder) to activate water spray.

    MCU reliability issue

    I did annual service just couple of weeks ago, I had firmware upgrade done on it as well, all went well. I'm surprised that they informed you to go pick up the car without first checking that everything went smoothly. I think that particular guy who handled your case didn't do a good job. I...

    3 days and 500kms review in Hong Kong

    @Titus, nice report. I assume you don't have home charging, are you still working on it or it's a complete NO NO, just curious! The left hand signal stalk still gets me from time to time, especially at exit to roundabout. I do worry that the sudden lost of power will get someone kissing me...

    Hall of Shame-- Supercharger Parking Over Time (SPOT)

    This isn't applicable to Tesla, the plug is locked until owner is back. Some charging stations are designed to eject the cable when charging is complete or limit (time or kWh) is up.

    Frequency of occupied Superchargers & "peak hours"

    With "only" 9 months+ experience I can only speak for myself. Should I wait to see sufficient EV infrastructure available or I should bring one more EV on the road such that people will see the demand for better EV infrastructure? I witnessed the growth of superchargers I also see the...
