Here in the UK, heat pump is an option on the BEV only. I don't know if the US market has it as standard. In the UK, the heat pump adds roughly 10 miles of winter range. It doesn't get as cold here as it does in SLC. Colder weather means the car will use the resistance heater to warm up...

RUN AWAY !!!

Your i3 has either 3.6kW or 7kW AC level 2 on-board charging. 7kW was standard in many regions but not all. You need a Level 2 EVSE and a 240 VAC connection. 3.6kW EVSE needs a 20Amp circuit and a 7kW EVSE should be on a 40A circuit. The connection depends on where you live...

There are two reasons for this: Tesla get press and viral internet posts because they are Tesla. A single burning Tesla will get far more notice than a Ford pickup or Vauxhall Zafira. Doesn't matter that the other two burn up in much larger numbers than Tesla cars. Tesla used a unique cell...

I've had my 2018 94Ah i3s Rex for a month. I haven't used the Rex at all. We drove to Anglesey <--> Liverpool entirely on battery. 200 miles. Two CCS rapid charges. Finished the day with 15% battery. I only have the Rex because it was cheaper to lease a Rex than BEV...

My thinking.... In general I buy used or lease new. I've been leasing* EVs because the technology is changing so rapidly. I had my LEAF 30 on a 2-year PCP with the plan to buy our next EV. The contract ended without there being anything worth buying as a long term keeper. I'm...
