I know it's $500 for the unit. I've heard $2k for install? Seems insane. I paid an electrician $150 to install the one I had for my BMW i3.
Let's cut to the chase here. I only put on about 6,000 miles per year on my car. I am away for work much of the time. And I work from him when in Vegas. I don't think I'm going to be able to move, for family reasons, into a house from my apartment complex for at least a few years. Thus, I have no ability to charge whatsoever except at Super Chargers. Was this a massive mistake to buy the M3? Should I take the financial hit and sell it? It has under 300 miles. And I love it to death. But if I'm going to ruin the battery, not so sure I like that idea. Please advise. Thanks everyone!
I'm so confused. You have a charger for a BMW i3 already? (I guess you do use the past tense "had"...so I guess you don't have it anymore?) Can't you just use that one? As someone asked, what is the wattage? But if it's 3kW or more (240V @ 12A) it may be just fine for you. Check the tables for the charge time if you want, or just don't worry about it - 3kW is good enough for most (but obviously not all) use scenarios. If it's a problem look for a different solution. Or do you not have access to this charger anymore?
