On of the advantages of the i3 REx acquiring the BEVx designation is that it will be treated as a zero emission vehicle in many states. I live in NJ and zero emission cars (Tesla, LEAF, etc) are tax exempt so you save ~$3,500 on an i3 in sales tax. However a Volt isn't zero emission so you have to pay sales tax on it. The BEVx designation for the i3 REx means there is no sales tax on it either.
