Hybrid vehicles can vary — a lot. Some are called "hybrids" because they use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle, some hybrids may or may not plug-in to charge, and some may or may not have regenerative braking.

High voltage cable inspection:  Your technician will look closely at the outside connectors and cable jackets on your BMW i3 and test to confirm that high voltage isn't making its way to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.

Isolation test: For this test, a technician uses a special tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace hybrid electric battery: Is your BMW i3's high voltage battery not as strong as it once was? Let us install a new one.
