There's a lot of variation between hybrid vehicles. Some hybrids plug-in to charge, some don't. Others have regenerative braking, but not all hybrid vehicles. And most use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle. And did you know? Some hybrid cars come with a traditional 12-volt battery along with a high-voltage battery. With so many differences in hybrid vehicle systems, it's important that you visit someone who knows your 2019 BMW i8 from bumper to bumper. We're here for you. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid vehicles, including your 2019 BMW i8.
Select locations also offer high voltage services.

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: Your technician will inspect the i8's battery filter (if applicable) and clean the ducts of the battery. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)
High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your BMW i8 and check to make sure no high voltage energy is transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable is damaged and needs replacement.
Isolation test: This test involves using a special tool to check for any high voltage pieces that may be "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.
