It is time to trade in my 2009 Mini Cooper for an EV. I will miss my little money pit. I hope the Cooper EV turns into a happy reality in the near future. In the mean time, I must get an EV car. My solar panels are on the roof waiting for an EV to power up.
This week, I plan on visiting the BMW dealer and peppering them with questions. What questions should I ask? I really want a 2017 BEV, however, there are none for sale in the whole state of Utah as of today. Is it worth the transportation fee to bring one in from Colorado or Arizona? My next option is a 2016 REX. There are a handful to buy. With my Mini, I averaged 6700 miles a year. My anxiety issue really isn't about range. I'm the ideal candidate for an EV. My round trip commute to work is 13 miles. My anxiety issue is winter. It gets cold here. Will a 2016 battery give me enough leftover range after the cold? BTW, I don't blame the battery for not wanting to work in the winter.
Also any issues with buying from a non-BWM dealer? It looks like there are two smaller dealers that sell German imports, including the i3.
Last question, extended warranty. Has anybody used their extended warranty? What comfort do you get from your extended warranty?
