I have to agree, something like the Volt could be an only vehicle, where, for most people, the i3 would not. Now, assuming you can afford to have two vehicles, I do think the i3 is a good choice for the more mundane, around-town, day-to-day driving that is at least a moderate part of peoples' use of a vehicle. As I've said before, I am looking for something that can do (very) short trips and not be worried about the engine, oil, mufflers, etc. and their maintenance of an ICE, even a plug-in hybrid. I have a vehicle that I like for longer trips, or where more room is required. My guess is that there is very little required maintenance on the i3 (the REx would have more).
