Once a month, we make a 500 mile each way journey to North Carolina.
In the 2 years that we had the 2015 I3 Rex, this involved at least 3 CCS stops & upto 6 gas stops each way.
The CCS chargers are located at irregular distances that just did not jive with the 2015 I3 ranges.
After 2 return trips now in the 2017 Rex, this trip is so much easier.
Starting from the North with a full battery & fuel tank means that we can reach the first CCS charger(s),
which are about 200 miles away, non-stop.
This took a little courage on the first trip but is now routine.
The charge takes about 10-15 mins longer the 2015 car but coupled with a gas stop next door to the chargers,
the next reliable CCS installation, at 155 miles further, is reachable easily non-stop.
A 2nd charge & fuel top up completes the journey with ease.
The 2017 I3 Rex is now a truly usable car.
For us, it is a significant improvement over the 2015 in usable range.
