Does anybody have ideas about changes that will be made for the i3 from the 2014 to the 2015 model?

I know all about the efficiency of the various BEVs: After driving the LEAF for 22,000+ miles, including regular trips from Blacksburg to Roanoke VA, where I have to charge to get back up the mountain to home, I want a BEV such that I can drive a little in Roanoke and get back to Blacksburg...

Woodland Hills: Thanks for that information. I e-mailed the sales person and asked him to search for 20" tires. htownmark: I am trying to stick with light-colored exteriors and interiors to cut down on heating the battery and having to use air conditioning. The LEAF S and SL have no choice...

I did not specify a wheel size. The Giga & Tera specify 19" I did say that I did not want the Sport 20" option.

My 2012 LEAF SV was in a major accident last Tuesday; I was not injured thanks to the steering-wheel air bag. I find out tomorrow if it can be fixed or if it is totaled. I wanted to replace it with the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive with the Range Package. The closest dealer to me is in...

What is the smallest number of years anyone has leased the i3? My 2012 leased Nissan LEAF was wrecked yesterday by a guy running a red light in front of me; I think it is totaled. So, I am looking for either a BMW i3 Rex or a Mercedes B-Class ED to lease asap.

There are several aftermarket SOC meters for the LEAF that hook into the OBDII. I got one right after I leased the LEAF in May 2012 and that is what I watch instead of the battery bars on the LEAF display. It shows usable SOC in % tenths. Some of them even show the battery-modules voltages on an...

Is it possible to buy the i3 Rex in Germany and bring it to the US? Then one would have a Rex that could charge the battery at will instead of only when the battery is depleted.

I have seen a curve of range vs speed for the Nissan LEAF. The peak is at 15 mph. I once had to drive slowly to make it home in the LEAF I leased; my experience was that 15 mph was an optimum speed.

Has anyone driven the i3 in all 3 modes over the same distance at the same speed to compare the amount of kWh used for the 3 modes?

I think BMW has much to worry about with the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive having 87-miles and 104-miles ranges: http://insideevs.com/mercedes-benz-b-class-ed-battery-larger-expected-36-kwh/#comment-478705

Tesla has one for its proprietorial plug: http://shop.teslamotors.com/products/chademo-adapter So it is possible to have an SAE one.

Here are some of the web pages I have found that discuss the REx: http://bmwi3.blogspot.com/2014/01/to-rex-or-not-to-rex-that-is-question.html http://insideevs.com/bmw-i3-rex-1100-mile-road-test-review/...

Oops! I should have written date instead of data.

Does anyone know the data when the REx EPA numbers will be released?

I recently test drove the i3. My main interest is in the i3 REx, which I hope to test drive as soon as possible. However, I see a problem in driving the REx in the U.S. in that the small engine does not turn on until the battery is almost depleted. So, a test-drive i3 REx must be nearly battery...
