Hi,
Part of the USA "Corporate Average Fuel Economy" (CAFE) law was a mid-term review. It is currently under review but turns out to have a huge, technical document, "Technical Assessment Report", 1,217 pages:
http://www.nhtsa.gov/Laws+&+Regulations/CAFE+-+Fuel+Economy/ld-cafe-midterm-evaluation-2022-25
Here is the Table of Contents:
I just used the Adobe 'find' to survey the BMW i3 content and found chapter 5 to be a pretty complete survey of the technology ... not specific to the BMW i3 but the whole industry. Well researched, there are extensive footnotes.
Enjoy!
