 Looks like there is a lot of available space for more batteries.

Battery is below rear seat? 

This is part of the front battery.

100 kW or 136 horses.

Go for a 2017 or earlier with a 35.8kwh battery and 201km of autonomy. The 2016 has a 24kwh battery, so only 130km... and less power.

No mechanical or electrical changes since 2017... only cosmetics

Removing rear panels

Fabian B is removing rear bumber to install rear-view-camera on a BMW i3. It's pretty interesting to see how it looks under the panels.

Laddare för elbil vid Liseberg / Parkering

Finns nu fina elbilsladdare vid Liseberg. Tack Christian för info!

"20 fräscha laddare vid parkering Liseberg! Gillar uppställningen. Kan alltså ladda 40 bilar samtidigt. Riktigt bra och känns även som ett hyfsat pris. 34 kr/Tim inkl. laddning. Jag stod här i 3 h och laddade ca 20 kWh. Blir ju ca 7 kW i effekt. Stod ingenstans om effekt så jag vet inte om den sänks om man delar på en laddare. Men säkringarna per laddare var 63 A så det bådar gott." - Christian J.

Längre ner i texten framgår det att ytterst få batterier har fått bytas ut.
