Maybe in a good day you can do both ways in one battery. i8 goes at least 25 km, I can promise, but 34 km may be a bit on the limit. I think pure e-range doesn't depend on main program selected, so once you press "e-only" button, it overrides all other presetted driving modes as far as I have understood. And once battery is out, it somehow continues with "max ePower" mode in a previously selected main driving mode. I have to check this again, what happens if you drive out battery in Max ePower and have Sport-mode presetted. You have "Sport Max ePower" or what?
