The i3 is very conservatively rated. BMW rates the irex at 97 miles, AER, and it easily beats that.
I have achieved 148 miles on my BEV from Oxnard to Gaviota and back and some in town driving on a 97% charge (117 mi rating). This was a remarkable 165mpge, although it was a test done in eco pro+, 57 mph when I first got the car.
Driving on the freeway, 70-80mph and hitting normal traffic in between still yields over 100 miles. I can slow to 75mph, and then still cruise 94 mph up the Conejo Grade.
Went from Bakersfield to Oxnard, 110 miles and averaged 140mpge efficiency, cruise control set at 65 mph up the Grapevine. ( 75mph on the way there).
The car is remarkable, so fun to drive, easy to park, and solidly built. |
Couldn't take rest of post serious after you said you were driving an giant egg with a BMW logo on it.
