    What is a normal realistic range on an i3 Rex

    I have a 2017 REX Getting about 85+ in cold weather. And 120+ in the Summer. And, I have the REX just in case. I have never needed the REX unit. Car is doing better, since the last software update. They updated the software, when they fixed the front airbag situation. Doing great.

    Regen braking can be dangerous on icy roads

    I have had good luck on ice and snow. However, I would also like to turn off the regen. It would make my driving easier. Any suggestions? Future change in the software? All in all, the i3 is a pretty good foul weather car.

    i3 REX unit - Fuel surge valve

    Update: 24 hrs after getting a new Fuel Surge Valve and updated software. Apparently, I damaged the valve by overfilling the fuel tank on the REX unit. Fill slowly and stop when it clicks off. They fixed it under warranty with no problems. I will try to do a better job of fueling. Software...
