Thinking of getting a 2017 REx..total milage

[Mark25810]

Hi there currently i have a fiat 500e on lease which ends in feb time here in the UJ it has been a great car.

I am thinking of getting a used I3 as i have seen some with 30k miles on the clock going for £13k

I was wondering how the Rex works and how many miles can you fully go on a full charge and if the petrol part i topped to being full...i know it does not run off the petrol side.

I travel to work 35 miles a day that is there and back qnd do not travel far outside of work maybe to local shops or to town which is 12 mile there and same back maybe 2 times a month

I have a 2017 BEV. On Battery alone I get 120 miles in warm weather and maybe 80 in cold.
If you can charge at home you may not even need the REX.

Welcome to the board, Mark25810 –

As you seem to be in South Africa (UJ, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Johannesburg) please let us know what model year i3 you are looking at.

Mark - a 2017 with 30k miles for $13~ sounds like a great deal if the mechanics are sound.

On a 2016 If you're able to recode the Rex and gas tank limitation, the estimated combination of a full charge (78 miles) and full tank (60 miles) gives me around 140 miles total. This is on the 60ah battery, so the 2017 with a upgraded battery will give you even better battery range. So I'd safely say closer to 190 miles on full charge and battery.

Sorry. I hate to annoy everyone. I want to post a new topic on a bad "SPLINED TORSION SHAFT." I don't know how to start a new topic, only send PMs and respond to existing topics.
