Emergency Unplugging
The i3 has got a manual unlock facility (a long piece of plastic that is pulled) which can unlock a stuck charging plug. I have had this happen twice on 2 i3s when rapid charging. Even operating the emergency cut off on the rapid charger failed to release the plug. I cannot see a manual release on my iX3. Should I be worried?

On my 225xe locking the double pressing the unlock forces the charge port to unlock, I suspect it would be the same, although till I get mine can't be sure.

I had my first ‘locked’ rapid plug today. The rapid failed to start the charge but the plug was fully locked. I called the operator’s support line and then couldn’t unlock the plug. We agreed that the best thing to do was to re-boot the charge point remotely and start the charge. The charge completed and the plug unlocked normally.
I was tempted to push the iDrive unlock tab but I needed the charge. As I started to pull away another EV wanted my slot. I warned him what might happen. He was on his phone when I left. |
