BMW i8 Diagnostic Report

A customer presented with a BMW i8 not charging issue, where the high-voltage battery did not accept charge via the onboard inlet. Our diagnostic process involved scanning the charging system, checking the charge port and high-voltage battery interface, and isolating the fault to an internal charging module within the system.

Repair work was undertaken to replace the faulty module and re-establish correct charging function. The system was reset, tested under load and verified using our in-house hybrid/EV repair methodology.

Resolution

After repairs, the BMWi8 not charging fault was fully resolved. The vehicle accepted full charge once again, the charge-port system operated as expected, and the car was returned in full working order and plug-in hybrid functionality restored.
