I typically drive 80 mph on the highway. I like efficient vehicles, having owned a couple of hybrids and currently a diesel, but I certainly don't hypermile. What I'm wondering is, if the i3 is coded to be able to run the engine at 75% SOC, and if you have infinite fuel (due to carrying a gas jug and stopping for gas every so often), then in normal temperatures how long can the car maintain 75 or 80 mph before the SOC drops to ~10%? I would consider that the car's true real-world range but I have no idea what it is.
I found a YouTube video where someone reported that the 60Ah car could go at least 62 miles on electricity alone at a steady 80 mph, and with the engine running the charge level dropped fairly slowly, but I have no idea really what the rate is.
Alternatively, if anyone happens to know roughly how many kilowatts of power are drawn when going a steady 75 or 80 mph then I can calculate the expected range based on the engine's steady output (which is 22 kW I think...?).
