I took a round trip from Arizona to California and back which was about 1400km stopping for gas every 120km or so and made the trip with no issues. You already have the Hold Charge on your car so as soon as the car gets to a 75% turn on the engine and you should be able to do this trip with no...

Another option would be to code your car so you have full control of the REX and then just turn it on early so you're not bringing the battery so low everyday. Nobody really know what will happen yet in the long run but personally I believe that bringing the battery down to that low of a charge...

I think BMW is very serious about selling the i3. I have been going to CES in Las Vegas for almost 20 years and for the past 3 years BMW has had one of the most impressive displays explaining the electronics and manufacturing of their i cars as well as all the possibilities for their future and...

Since you'll already have the State of Charge hold built in I don't see any reason why this trip wouldn't be possible. As stated by another you'll probably have to stop to fill up in the winter. I just got back from driving from Phoenix Arizona to Corona California which was a little over...

I keep thinking the same thing. I was considering going all out and getting the Juicebox 75amp but I don't think I'll bother. My thinking is that why future proof your home charger when the chances you'll need it to be fast should diminish as charging infrastructure improves. Also your new car...

Did you ever get the car back to DC? I am going to pick up my CPO today and have been reading over all the forum comments my drive home is much shorter so I shouldn't even get to test the REX until I code the car but I am curious what the final outcome of your situation was.
