(You may want to phrase the question differently )

I went up to Park Lane to see the concept, but apart from the size, it didn't tell me much. Is HQ open to anyone who rocks up, as it's not far from me? Either way, great reply, thanks v much.

Can the Range Extender option be added sometime after original purchase?
I ask not only for the obvious ability to increase range to compensate for poor pre-purchase assumptions or decreasing battery capacity. I live in a state that offers a generous, but oddly formulated tax credit for EVs. I can get $5,000 state tax credit (in addition to the $7,500 federal tax credit), but only if there is no gasoline engine aboard whatsoever. This makes the REx essentially a $8,850 option for us Georgians. Sure would be nice to save that large chunk up front, yet maintain the option to add the REx at some later date as needs change.
You are correct. You cannot add the range extender. It's ONLY a factory installed option.gaz26 said:ultraturtle said:If not too late to add to the question list:

My understanding is that BMW won't retro fit the range extender. Quite complex to do as well as engine and fuel tank plus related electrics would also need new front wing as fuel filler here on Rex.

If I have a "non BMW" 32amp charger what won't I be able to do with my i3? ..... if anything
What actual cables come with the car.
I was told £120 for the BMW cable, don't know how that compares to ZCW.AndrewDebbie said:Buying a type-2 cable from ZCW is an alternative to paying for the one BMW will be selling.
