So today, I put +80 miles on our 2014 BMW i3-REx, all EV:
  • Started 98% SOC - charged on Sunday, I'd unplugged it when unloading the wash. Still got to work at 88% and started long running jobs ... and fixed the various issues.
  • 9 AM - drive back home to pickup wife for dentist appointment.
  • 10 AM - wife and her two dogs arrive on time at dental office.
  • 12 Noon - stop by work to check on long running job ... that failed. Restart job.
  • 12:30 PM - pickup lunch and get wife and dogs happy.
  • 1 PM - back at work, SOC < 50%.
  • 4:30 PM - long running job finished and started restore, headed to fast DC charger.
  • 5 PM - SOC < 30% and plugged in, an adult beverage and appetizer, 30 minutes later, 92% SOC
  • 5:30 PM - back to work to make sure everything is working and fill out 'red-tape' paperwork
  • 6 PM - back to high-speed charger for dinner and beverage, left at 99% SOC
  • 7 PM - home with dinner for wife and a nap
Never at risk of starting the REX, just ordinary driving in the different modes. Beautiful weather.
