Rapid Charging at Frimley Park Hospital

Jan 2, 2017Trevor Larkum1 CommentBlog, BMW, Charging, Electric Cars, i3, i3 94Ah

We’re currently on our way in the i3 from Northampton to Surrey, to visit relatives for New Year’s Eve.

We have recently showed the i3 at Milton Keynes shopping centre, and a Renault ZOE in Kings Langley. Ahead of either of

After weeks of waiting our i3 has finally come back. The accident damage has been repaired so well that it looks like new! Our compliments go to the Rugby Bodyshoppe for a job well done. It’ll be good to see the back of the courtesy car, a Lexus 300 hybrid, which was a rubbish drive

Dec 19, 2016Trevor LarkumBMW, Electric Cars, i3, News, Reviews and Comment

In this video, Mat Watson and Rebecca Chaplin hit the roads of London in a BMW i3 for a challenge with a difference.

The BMW i3 goes to be repaired

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.

BMW i3 accident repair 

Nov 23, 2016Trevor Larkum1 CommentBlog, BMW, Electric Cars, i3, i3 94Ah

My new BMW i3 94Ah was involved in a road accident last night and is now looking sorry for itself. Expect further blog posts on the repair process with an i3! [Edit: It has since been collected]

Nov 20, 2016Trevor LarkumBlog, BMW, Electric Cars, Energy and Climate Change, i3, i3 94Ah, Solar Power

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.
