I drive the I3 90Ah, 155.000km (96.000mls), no degradation at all, still 28kWh max capacity... and still love the car... best buy ever, no repairs whatsoever except my brakes had to replaced not because of wear and tear, but because of corrosion / lack of usage, a real nuisance.

My 2014 i3 drives like new. Won’t be considering getting rid of it until catastrophic failure. Absolutely superb vehicles.

Hi Dan, the i3 is a car that still feels modern and is more agile than many current and overweight EVs. It was, in my opinion, something of a masterclass in sustainability, quality and over engineering and thus made to last a very long time: e.g. a 100% charge was not really that because they had made the capacity greater than that stated, this was to reduce over charging and the subsequent degradation. We used to have a standard 120Ah model, summer range was 190 and winter about 150 -160. Had the car been equipped with a heat recovery pump (an optional extra) there would not have been little difference between the two figures. I only changed the car out of necessity because we were having to make regular non-stop long trips and therefore purchased a used, long range Tesla model 3 so that we could cover our 250 mile return trips without needing to use a charger (or a supercharger) and hence recharge on low priced night rates. Pleased to see that you are proud of your i3, I would be too, it was one of my all time favourite cars.

It’s good to hear about the i3 and its battery in the longer term. The range effects are due to seasonal temperature variation rather than long term degradation. Good to know, thank you.

Thanks for the video. I've not checked that menu yet in my i3 but will have a look. Will be interesting to see what it says after 20,000 miles (car is just over three years old) 👍

In eco pro my 2016 rex with 70k can get a range of around 160 miles and with rex up to 270. I am not heavy on the accelerator and cruise at 60mph using regen as much as possible. This is even with the aircon on. Probably the best car i have ever had. A 60 mile a day commute costs me around £2 a day in electric costs. I was paying over a hundred in diesel a week in my Jaguar!! But if i couldn't charge at home on economy 7 and had to use public chargers it would be 7 times as expensive so understand peoples reluctance for EV's!!

Awesome I've got a ampera and I'm still very happy as to range

I have a 2014 Rex mine says 13.4, but i still get 72 miles in good weather on Eco pro. Im at 77k miles

My 2019 530e does not give the battery menu after unlocking in the service screen. 😢 its really frustrating.

My car is from 2015 with 134k km and 16.2 kWh left, can vary. That’s not bad at all.

Suspect battery max is allowable battery capacity to the consumer, not actual battery which is likely to be higher. Car manufacturers always leave a buffer to allow for degradation and minimum charge (to prevent damage)

My 2016 i3 90Ah model have 94% capacity still (62tKm ODO)

If you see that a car with this small battery has to be charged about 800 - 900 times for 60.000 miles, it is clear that a battery double the size (with the same consumption) only has to be charged 400-450 times. And even with so many charging cycles, you have no big degredation. If I am right, the i3 has no big heat management for the battery. Newer cars are so much better there, so the battery is even less stressed in newer cars.

How anyone can be happy with 70 miles before a charge needed compared with a full tank of petrol beats me.
