Ähm, that's a personal view. I didn't buy the first i8 because of the ridiculous battery range. I drive the i8 as an EV on my commute. The Nav interacts with the engine strategy (if on) to avoid local emissions in populated areas. All that works much better with larger battery range. And in Germany you need the 50km to get the benefits of an E license plate. That makes a commercial difference as well as gives you some extra rights. The old i8 doesn't qualify. And don't get me wrong, I like my i8 a lot but it is everything but a high performance sports car. It has wheels like a bicycle, is too heavy for the combined engines and sounds like something hard to define. It was designed as a maximum efficiency technology sample and has a wide range of characters you can choose from. But for every discipline you will find a much better, much cheaper car. BUT, not for all the i8 can be. That needs a fleet, especially with the roadster.
