Add BMW i3 60Ah → 154Ah (54 kWh) battery upgrade as selectable vehicle
Hello ABRP team,
I would like to request adding a new selectable vehicle variant for a BMW i3 upgraded from the original 60Ah battery to a 154Ah battery module.
Confirmed specifications:
Base vehicle: BMW i3 60Ah
Battery upgrade: 154Ah (NMC), ~54–55 kWh gross
Usable (net) capacity: 50.8 kWh
confirmed by manufacturer tests
verified by real-world DC charging measurements
typical measured range: 49–51 kWh
BMW BMS reserves ~10% capacity as protection buffer
DC charging: 45–50 kW, charger dependent
Ionity chargers typically hold higher power longer than E.ON
taper usually starts around 80–85% SoC
AC charging: unchanged from stock BMW i3
Fully electric vehicle (no REX, no hybrid)
This configuration is already in real-world use, and detailed charging and consumption data can be provided if needed.
Having this as a separate selectable vehicle would significantly improve route planning accuracy for upgraded BMW i3 owners.
Best regards,
Zsolt
