Thoughts on the i3
 
So I was wondering.

They say the enhanced model does 180 miles with full charge, and to do that at 18% the generator kicks in to make the last 18% last longer. questions:

1. Why not run the generator all the time so it does 300 miles?

Presumably because running the generator is less efficient that charging from the mains supply?

I think it is great.

I have to say i3 and i8 look ace and sound like good cars, just wondered why 180 miles and not 300 (at least that's a tank of fuel)

I will not be buying any car with a battery that is used for propulsion.

Thoughts on the i3 - Best not to think about it, the beginning of the end. Next it will be embedded induction loops in the roads, put you foot down and nothing - "computer says no".
A time of change is looming ever closer! :whistle:
