One of a things most of us EV drivers have been guilty of, is plugging in at your convenience we have a event to. We might not even need a additional range, though if there is an accessible 240V EVSE, or even a elementary 120V outlet, and we’re starting to be at which place for a while, it’s only as well tantalizing not to block in and squeeze a small electrons whilst we’re there.
Not which there is anything wrong with that, though we consternation how most i3 owners know their car annals everywhere you’ve plugged in and stores a expect location? I’ve well known this for a whilst right away since a couple of months ago a single of a readers here sent me an email indicating it out since it roughly got him in difficulty though I’ll get back to which after in a post.
I’m bringing this up right away since we had to move my car in for use for BMW to check something. I’m beta contrast new i3 program which will be expelled to a open in a couple of months so if we see anything out of a typical they wish to check it out. So we forsaken a car off at JMK BMW and a good Ionic Silver i3 REx was watchful for me to use as a loaner. we had used this loaner prior to a couple of months ago when we had a new program commissioned on my car and adore which JMK offers i3 loaners. It’s a use which all BMW dealerships which unequivocally wish to sell i3s should employ, in my opinion.
I suspect it’s not a complaint if it’s your personal car, though if we do use an i3 loaner from your dealer, and we do not wish a jot down of where we plugged in logged in a car’s navigation system, I’d indicate we undo a entries which were done whilst we had a vehicle prior to we spin a car back in. we know this isn’t all that opposite from how navigation systems work on alternative cars. Many store a prior destinations which were entered in a system. However this seems a small some-more forward to me since your home residence is being stored though we entering it in to a complement similar to we would ave to do with a navigation system. Simply by plugging a car in we emanate a saved entrance and a expect place is stored. we only wish a readers here to know this, so they can confirm if they wish to undo their charging locations at your convenience they feel a need. I’m certain most i3 owners do not even comprehend this is happening.So as we headed out of a dealership we proposed a navigation system, and instead of entering a destination, we corkscrew down to “Last Charging Stations” only to see if a addresses we charged at a couple of months back were still saved there. They were. My grill in Montclair and my home residence were saved as destinations in a loaner’s nav system. Then, as we corkscrew down a list we saw addresses of all my friends who live locally and drive i3s. Their names weren’t listed, though a navigation complement stored a expect place of their homes – which we know since we have been friends. Evidently they as well had used this loaner i3 whilst their car was in for service. Since they charged a car at home, their addresses were available as “Last Charging Stations” and stored in a nav system. we erased all a entries which were addresses of a people we know, though we consternation how most of them satisfied they were withdrawal a jot down of where they live and assign for any a single who had a car after them to see.
Now removing back to a strange chairman who forked this out to me. About 6 months ago we got an email from a single of a readers here. He longed for to discuss it me a droll story of what happened to him with his i3. One day his mother was regulating a car for a initial time by herself and was removing to know a iDrive system. She came opposite a Last Charging Stations category. Scrolling down a list she saw an entrance which was a travel in a locale which wasn’t as well from where they live. Unfortunately for him, it was on a travel and in a locale were an aged partner used to live. When he came home which night his mother asked him about it, and he had to insist because he was there and which it was a open charging hire which he indispensable to stop off at for a small whilst so he could have it home a single night. He explained and they laughed about it, and it wasn’t a small critical exploration to proceed with, though it was a small sign about how this feature could get someone in difficulty if they went somewhere they shouldn’t have.
This might or might not be a regard for we personally, though we wish to at slightest indicate this out so i3 owners have been wakeful of it. It’s really easy to undo an entry; we only float over a saved destination, press a options symbol and afterwards delete. Unless you’re we do something we shouldn’t be we do we do not see ay reason to undo entries in your personal car, in actuality storing them for destiny use is a good feature, and is a reason because a car does it in a initial place. However, when regulating an i3 loaner from a dealership, I’d cite which my home residence isn’t henceforth stored in a nav complement and I’ll be deletion a entries we combined when we lapse a cars we have on loan from right away on.
