My wife and I have been looking at an i3 to replace our 2013 Leaf. History tells us that the basic 85 mi range of the Leaf covers 85% of my wife's driving. A range extender engine seems to be a good solution.

Our concern is that such an engine will get very few miles on it each year and that would seem to be a recipe for high maintenance costs in the out years. Unlike a lot of folks on the forum, we tend to own our cars for 10 years or so. Hence, this is a big concern. Is there any good data or anecdotal evidence one way or the other about the ic engine in the REX i3?
