    Good stuff, thanks Dan. This is the type of info I love about Insideline. Yes, I still prefer that name. Will you be doing a full range test including the REX?

    You guys have it wrong. Its not REX, its "THE" Range Extender or T-REX.

    This is a lot like a Volt but for more money. And the switch over in the Volt when the battery symbol and gauge flips around and becomes a fuel pump symbol and gauge is way cooler. BMW is late to the party with this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8js3gD1dQgA

    Except that the electric range in the i3 REX is about double that of the current Volt. Said another way, the Volt's electric operation radius is smaller than that of the i3 REX by about half. I'd say they moved the needle quite a bit. The new 2016 Volt will still come up 20 miles short (a 10-mile difference in commute radius)

    Does the i3 qualify for the white HOV stickers?
