I went to the LA Autoshow last November to drive the i3 and also to survey the other EV offerings. There were many and a couple that had me scratching my head about my i3 decision - the Chevy Spark EV and Mitsubishi i-MiEV. They were so much less money, especially the Spark. And it had 400 lb-ft of torque! So I went home and made a spreadsheet of standard and optional features to compare the vehicles to see which one had the best value. I haven't owned a BMW in a while and I was unfamiliar with many of the terms so I needed definitions. Long story short, I generated this index of i3 features with definitions mostly from the i3 brochure and the BMW Technology Guide, it may be useful in your decision making. I don't believe there is another vehicle, EV or ICE, with this much safety and convenience technology packed into it, especially compliance cars, the Spark wasn't even close. I am back on the i3 strong!
