Why does my BMW i3 not start when it's cold outside?

I've noticed that when the temperature drops below freezing, my BMW i3 struggles to start. However, it starts just fine in warmer weather. Is this a common issue with electric vehicles? How can I fix this problem?

Hi Alexandra, it is common for electric vehicles to have a harder time starting in colder temperatures. One thing you can do is preheat your car before attempting to start it. This will warm up the battery and make starting easier.

Alexandra, make sure you are using the correct type of charging station for your BMW i3. Some charging stations may not be compatible with your car, which could lead to issues starting in colder weather.
