This is for the
BMW ActiveE precursor car to the BMW i3. It had a 32-kWh battery with 28-kWh useable.
It appears that the available capacity was kept nearly constant
for the first 20,000 miles by using some of the 4-kWh buffer as needed.
Location of the OBDII receptacle looking up below the steering wheel (Top right):
In the USA the range extender option, a small gasoline engine, is automatically activated when the battery SOC drops below 6.5%. While running it maintains the SOC at 6.5%. It cannot be used to take the SOC above 6.5% as it can be in Europe. Its behavior in the USA needs to be changed to be similar to its behavior in Europe.
The exhaust pipe is under the car. |
