The BEVx certification that BMW sought for the i3 REx never had anything to do with White Stickers, but rather vehicle counts to offset sales of immensely more polluting ICE vehicles. Hat's off to BMW for creating (by far) the second most environmentally responsible personal conveyance vehicle on the planet - the i3 BEV, but please do not think that California ever considered the gasoline range extending version of that vehicle, the i3 REx (by far, the most environmentally responsible personal conveyance vehicle on the planet) for "White Sticker" eligibility. The astonishingly primitive thinking of the CARB group would prefer two car families to own both a full-on gas-hog and a "pure" EV rather than two EVs that might need to tap into a couple of miles of gasoline range now and then for the next decade or two until the nation gets its electric charging infrastructure in place.
