  With a range extension of 115 miles, that's not quite the distance I'd like to see. It's fine as a proof of concept, and maybe even for a daily driver with a bit of emergency range, but not for my aforementioned trips.

    > With a range extension of 115 miles, that's not quite the distance I'd like to see. It sounds like you want a Volt. 53-ish miles of zero-emission electrical driving. If your battery dies, the gas generator clicks on, and a single tank of gas gets you an extra 315+ miles at freeway speeds. It's not perfect. But (IMHO) it's pretty close to the best of both worlds, since the i3 isn't allowed to have a real range extender.
