As some knew I've been very close to buying an i3 but their's one big disadvantage in owning just a battery car. When the power goes down you're finished and stuck where it runs out and the small amount of petrol in the Rex tank has been used as well.

I've purchased a BMW's 225xe and it arrives 22nd June. Petrol is still cheap and owning the best of both worlds works for me. I can use battery around town and have the petrol option when driving freeways sipping very little petrol as well it's a lot cheaper to buy than an i3. The list of bad and good points is defiantly better than the i3 ever will be.

People need to look past the hype and see which is going to work and work for the whole family.

BMW has surpassed the Model 3 with their new 330e:- 5.9s 0-60 and 225xe:- 5.7s 0-60 which is fast enough. They each having a full petrol engines.
