I know people hate electric-ICE combos, but charging at home for next to nothing, running 90% of local trips on battery only, and not having any charging downtime if we go somewhere that hasn't caught up with EV charging is pretty nice.
- schmookeeg 2y agoI am on record as loving our BMW i3 and its Range Extender. :) The German over-engineering of stupid things has been it's primary downfall, not the ICE+EV combo. We are approaching the end of our extended warranty period, and we have had two failures -- electrically actuated rear trunk latch and our electrically actuated charge-port-cover latch. Both ridiculous and unnecessary. Both about $4K at the dealership, with no real viable alternatives. Unfortunately, we are likely to replace it due to the obscene repairs of minor and unnecessary components. I don't think there is anything else similar coming out. We won't be considering the RAMCharger, which is at least the same idea :)
