[kriticalkase]

741-4761 Andy. He lives approx 5 mins from mikeage Mack in San Fernando. Tell him Dennis gave u his contact.
After talking to him toy will realize how competent he is regarding repairing / servicing hybrids.

[Kay Rizzo]

I saw somewhere advertising they doing repairs to the battery packs, so no need to swap the whole pack

Grande man NOT in Trini .. Nobody can fix these Hybrids

Forget dem hybrid cars, they are disposable like bic razor ..

Keep the G Vitara

BTW is mango and plum season - and ah looking for a baby yellow head parrot .

Any ?

There are people in Trinidad who went abroad and got certified .. they are qualified to fix these hybrids. I know two in south

Which two? Can you. Provide contact?

Check earlier up - Tuners recommended some "mechanics" in this thread .

Why did you not go to the person/dealer who sold you the Hybrid (that is if you purchased/own one ) ?

I don't have a problem . I don't need a mechanic.

[*$kїđž!™]

So best to go with a cng car then

[RedVEVO]

CNG cars disposable like KFC box.

[*$kїđž!™]

Where are the serious tuners that actually offer good advice?

Hybrid is the best way forward for a daily driven vehicle, the money you’re saving on fuel alone $130 on a Lexus CT200h gives me 600kms comfortable $145 Honda vezel 700 kms, a lot of foreign used dealers are bringing in parts for these also as the market for them has increased, these need service just as a regular car nothing special about it really.

^ same sentiments as my colleague here.
Moving from my 2013 STI Spec C to this 2017 F30 330e... I don’t miss my STI that much. Apart from the lack of a manual gearbox. Can’t heel toe, can’t manually rev match.. but personally a small price to pay.

As I’ve said months ago on a another thread, torque on this vehicle is more and power is not that much difference less that I can noticeably feel.
My butt dyno tell me this is faster.
Having no turbo lag is something I’m still amazed by. Getting similar and more useable performance with my gas bill cut by at least 2/3 and being relatively more environmentally friendly is a win and a no brainer for me.
It has been 9 months. And not a single problem. Maintenance is the same as any normal 3 series. The F30 has proven to be one of the most reliable models.
This hybrid replaces the Bmw ActiveHybrid 3 so this isn’t the first hybrid model that BMW makes.

One thing is that the factory wall charger went bad but that’s not all that uncommon apparently. So I just ordered a replacement via eBay that’s more water resistant with a longer cable.

If you’re considering a vehicle that had a hybrid version. Go hybrid. I wouldn’t go electric just yet since there isn’t any public infrastructure to charge the vehicles in the event of an emergency.

What effect has the charging had on your electric bill?

Charging it every night increased my electricity bill by $150-$200 MAX every two months.
Electric drive ONLY gives about 30km - 35km on my commute. Mostly highway.
So multiply that by 60 days ( 2 months) gives about 1800-2100km for an increase of $150-$200 per TWO month on my electricity bill.

[drchaos]

We pay around 25 cents per kilowatt in T&T ... 330e has a 7.6KW battery.

around 2 dollars a charge???

Yup. But after your electricity usage crosses a total of 400kW, the rates increase from the 25 cents per kW.

[PariaMan]

Cannot see how the increase after 400 kw could possibly reach 150 per month

[scotty_buttons]

As said earlier. It’s 150-200 every TWO months. Which is the usual billing cycle.

[drchaos]

[PariaMan]
