martyyyn 102 Report post Posted June 9, 2022 I'm about to buy a 120Ah i3 to do a 50km roundtrip commute with the odd 180km round trip. Are there any i3 owners on here or anyone with experience of charges at home ? Obviously the daily trip is easily doable on the standard 3-pin cable. We have a 15A plug in the garage to power a caravan I use as an office. That should be all we need shouldn't it ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted June 10, 2022 I know plenty of i3 drivers that have only used the 3-pin plug charger to keep the car topped-up. Can easy cope with the daily commute, you probably could miss a day and still re-charge to full overnight. Obviously take a bit longer for the 180km trip but should still be ok. 15A circuit will be great, just make sure the charger is in plenty of air / not in direct sunlight when doing the bigger charge as it has a thermal overload trip in it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breaker 980 Report post Posted June 10, 2022 I’ve run my 60ah on 3pin 10a for last 2 years running up to 100ks a day, zero issues and wouldn’t install anything bigger for the i3, plenty of time overnight for a full recharge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
