Saturday we headed up to Sonoma for lunch and wine tasting with friends. Of course we took the 2021 i3 that had been delivered on Tuesday. Our place in SF to the winery is 55 miles, roughly half freeway and half two-lane country roads. I hadn’t planned to make this trip a range test since I knew the 120Ah pack could easily handle the roundtrip. Still I was stunned when I glanced at the GOM on the way home. We’d driven a handful of miles since topping up to 95% at the EA fast charge near the Sonoma town square. Yes, the conditions were probably ideal: 79° F ambient temperatures and moderate speeds using ACC without much stop-start the previous 20+ miles. Still, seeing 185 miles predicted range shocked me. I can’t help but wonder what it would have been if I’d charged to 100%.
