Well said. A great overview
Well said. A great overview of the Volt. Worth mentioning too that the Volt was an original idea. By that I meant the designer simply wanted the best experience for the owner/driver. The BMW by comparison was designed with the CARB regulations in mind, and the electonauts talk a lot about how the REX was really designed for a certain sticker color for HOV lane driving in CA. A post today by a BMW i3 REX owner describes the car's behavior as "hysterical" when the range extender comes on. The car sends repeated messages about getting juice and suggests local charge points. As you state the REX is really for emergencies, the Volt can be driven on gas as part of a long trip quite happily. This post is not meant as a jab a the BMW.
