I have a 2nd Generation Volt, which I chose as I did not like the compromises of the BMW iREX solution, namely being a highly restrictive fuel amount to meet CARB requirements. One advantage of the i3 I did not account for was a recent trade in by a coworker on their new X3. While they were upside down because the trade in dropped a lot the BMW dealers were quietly accepting at some predefined value as trades regardless. Your mileage may vary. I love the REX concept and think its the best solution until batteries become faster to charge and a weigh a lot less. Seriously, who can think a thousand pounds or close to it is a good solution for a car
