Where in the TCs are you located?

Which JuiceBox did you get? Are they all hard wired? Whats the benefit of programming the charging time? To take advantage of cheaper, off peak, electric?

Good topic. I was looking at this charger. I see at 7.7kW max that should be ideal for the i3. http://www.clippercreek.com/store/product/hcs-40p-32a-240v-charging-25-cord-nema-14-50-plug My electrician wants about $300 to run the plug. So for less than $1k I am set and upgradeable (plug in...

So help me with the logistics on this. I drive until the battery is at X percentage and then I engage the engine to create additional range. Then when I get down to 10 miles or so I find a gas station, fill up, and re start the process?

Good responses here! Honestly I had not thought about just stopping once an hour and filling up the tank. Can you tell this is my first EV?

Finalizing a deal with BMW of DesMoines for a new '15 REX. I was thinking of saving on shipping costs and drive it home. Its 248 miles to my house and 130 miles to a Nissan dealer in Mason City, IA and they have a J1772 plug. This appears to be about the half way point and the only place...

I agree. Thats superb!

I'd love to put winters on (soon to be) mine as well. Blizzaks are WAY overrated. Those Hakkas are awesome!! With such a skinny tire this thing should do quite well in snow. Well for a rear drive car.

$7k down at $176/month over 24 months seems high. I am still working on my DEC lease, but am at $0 down, 24 months 10k miles and about $340 monthly payment.

Good points to both sides here. Art makes some great points on cars that are kept a LONG time.

More good info! So essentially you are saying since I have to run a 240V outlet anyways, why not get the highest juice possible. I appreciate the tips!

Great info Art, thank you! Looks like I could get something like this: http://www.clippercreek.com/store/product/charging-station-lcs-20-level-2/ Just need the 220V outlet installed.

Dumb question - how do I know what kind of charger the i3 takes and where it could be charged? Is there a site someplace? For example I am looking to buy mine in Des Moines Iowa which would require a re-charge someplace near Mason City, IA. I found the following...

So if the residual on the 24 month / 10k went from 63% to 59% how do I determine what that does to my monthly cost?

Anyone heard an update on the updated range car? I'm looking to lease in DEC and the dealers are saying they don't have a clue when the new battery is coming out. When do the 16s arrive?

Which dealer?

Anyone? Or is everyone dealing direct with a local dealer?

I am located in Minneapolis and interested in leasing a new 2015 i3 REX. We have only 2 local BMW dealers and they REALLY like themselves, ie not a place that likes to negotiate price. That said, I am open to buying from just about ANYwhere and having the car shipped to me (or my local...
