Yeah, if you want to go around the block a few times before you run out of juice.[1] A lot of Americans need much longer range. The EPA range of the 2017 and older models was 81 miles. For about a year I did a one-way commute of about that distance. Only for 2019 did BMW come up with a somewhat reasonable range of 153 miles. I don't take the REx variant seriously. They are a really bad joke. Why not add an IC engine merely to get to a 200 mile range? And at the same time lower your electric-only range to 126 miles because of the added weight. That's beyond stupidity. Even with all that, I can't buy a new BMW i3 locally. The Beaverton dealer claims to have 231 vehicles, exactly zero battery vehicles: https://www.kunibmw.com/new-inventory/index.htm https://www.kunibmw.com/new-inventory/index.htm The Portland dealer claims to have 111 vehicles, exactly two BMW-i vehicles. They are both i8 at about $170,000 each: https://www.bmwportland.com/new-inventory/index.htm https://www.bmwportland.com/new-inventory/index.htm [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_i3#Fuel_economy_and_range https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_i3#Fuel_economy_and_range
