BMW i3 22 kWh degradation test after approx. 2000 cycles (7 years/175k km)
This video was brought to you by Marcus be elmech a planner Stone B Camp power and B component yo what’s up today I’m going to take a degradation test of this BMV I3 with 175,000 km on the odometer that’s roughly 110,000 miles and it’s from 2016 so
That’s 7 year old and this is from elmech I wonder if this is one of the loaners if you go go there to get your car repaired you can borrow this car maybe so yeah um first we’re going to check um you know the car has some uh uh
Service menu you can see how many kilowatt hour you get there uh but also I have this app called electrified so if you fire up the car now uh I need to stop this okay stop H for now fire electrified connect um you know initially this is a
60 amp hour battery I don’t know why they operate with amp hours maybe because it sounds bigger than 22 KW hour but you see that the car I mean this um app reports state of health to be 84% and then oh washer oh yeah I need to
Fill washer FL oh yeah good thing it has a warning and you see um 50.9 amp hour left out of 60 initially but okay so I will go into the service menu there’s a sequence here you have to press and hold this button oh 16.1 KW hour initially when
The car was new it had 18.8 KW hour okay let’s see if we actually get 16.1 then all right we’re on the move and we’re already down to 94% this test doesn’t take too long yeah so here you see the autometer but this is kind of clumsy if you want to see
Temperature you have to switch you have to click the board computer and let me see uh yeah it’s 0° cus outside today so um let’s just uh keep driving north not too long before we have to turn around and then how is M today uh okay we have
Wind from the south that’s why it’s so warm now uh oh almost no wind okay so I think I have to turn around here uh I’m 34 km away from Gardon where I want to stop and we have 54 km range and see we done only 36
Km um yeah because if I go further then it might be too far all right I’m almost done with it test uh we are 3.2 km away from the fast charger and I have 6 km range left actually initially I had uh yeah less than that but I had to enable Eco prop
Plus yeah it doesn’t matter uh heater is off now but when you have low St charge you are sweating yeah so no problem well we are done D here we have the stats we drove 92.5 km with the consumption 165 and and then we have 5.1% uh but I don’t
Dare to go deeper because uh gum claims 3 km so yeah with old cars you don’t want to go too deep so let’s plug it in and then calculate okay Char got 100% again I want to test something else here if we are hammering it how much losses do we
Have and then how many kilowatt hour out of the battery do we get then okay let’s uh go on the move I was stuck behind some left lane Huggers so I’m trying to hammer it uh fortunately over here it should be nice and clear so the average
Spe is not too high yet and also the consumption is not too high well let’s try to crank up everything then we are now at Minon and yeah we arriv at 4% we have 7.4% left okay it was 7.5 initially uh that’s where I to took the checkpoint
And then we have uh distance well okay distance this is more accurate distance with decimal and based on all this uh we have uh 15 .8 Kow hour that’s not too bad if we can get 16.1 according to the but CA MX so it should indicate that this battery uh has low internal
Resistance yeah okay even when you hammer it but okay keep in mind that we were stuck behind some traffic some campers so it’s not an optimal High speeed run but uh good enough but yeah based on my test now we see that we actually get 16.1 KW hour just like the
Car claims but uh I seen that the the BT cppa Max might sometimes be a bit off but in this case it was actually nice and correct and also I’ve seen it before it wasn’t that in the that was in the 42 KW hour uh Beaver also no no uh this is
Not the beaver the beaver is the iix and the I4 this is the hamster yeah a hamster I for but um yeah so that means um 14.4% liquidation that’s not too bad considering that this car has driven a lot for a small battery I estimated it’s
Almost 2,000 Cycles so yeah I mean uh according to all the Skeptics this car should be on the junkyard already and the battery should be kaput if it didn’t explode already so it can probably drive a long more distance before the battery becomes so bad that uh it’s unusable but
You know 16.1 Kow hour is still okay think about this my leaf has only 13 kilowatt hour or actually I’m not sure how much you can use at Le let’s say at least 12 KW hour but the leaf charges so slow here we still get good charging
Speed until around 60 70% so uh you know this I3 can probably drive at least 300,000 km before you might consider trashing it or something but it’s it was designed to be a city car and it will still work as a city car for many many
Years anyway I think that’s going to for now I hope you guys enjoy this video as always thank you for watching and talk to you later
