Dec 3, 2016Trevor Larkum2 CommentsBlog, BMW, Electric Cars, i3, i3 94Ah

After a bit of a delay our i3 has finally been collected to go for repair, following the recent accident. Today we watched as it was driven away. Hopefully we will see it again soon, and it will be returned to its former glory.

Renault ZOE from eCar Club

Nov 27, 2016Trevor Larkum3 CommentsBlog, Electric Cars, Renault, ZOE

The event yesterday went well, after which it was time to head back north. There was just about enough charge to get back home but I called in to Newport Pagnell services for a 10 minute top-up rather than take a chance . Since my i3 was damaged in an accident last week, I had

We’re doing another public event today, showcasing the Renault ZOE at a local school’s Advent Fair. We’ve got a lot of interest – public perception of electric cars has clearly picked up since last year, and we’ve had a lot of interesting discussions. [Part 2 here]

Solar charging a BMW i3 electric car

One feature of the i3 that wasn’t available on my previous Renault ZOE is the ability to change at very low powers. Of course that means charging can be very slow. The benefit of this option, which may not be obvious, is that it means the current draw is a good match for solar panels.

[Part 1] It was a good day – there was a lot of interest shown in the i3 and lots of good questions. I’m encouraged that the general public may finally be warming to electric cars. We were positioned next to the Chargemaster stand which was handy as their stand was displaying a Mitsubishi Outlander
