BMW i3 road trip to Amsterdam. what could possibly go wrong?
video description
I-d have thought phev and this car which basically a kind of hybrid because of the Rex are really local journey -short- range cars. If he-d chosen better ev like a Kona, he-d have had a better time of it. Also I-ll say the word. Tesla. They are the only manufacturer who have it fully sorted. I bet it would-ve a much better experience. The charge infrastructure needs sorting, needs to work reliably, and companies who consistently run them badly. as I-ve heard many chargers on the main routes in uk do. need to be held accountable.
Update. just noticed this was five years ago. I-d hope things have changed by now?

I wish the governments of the world did not actively discourage manufacturers from offering range extenders, as they lose all energy credits, consumers lose all rebates, and electric car sites arrogantly look down on them.
When it is the only version of electric besides hybrids, that is actually practical for everyone, even apartment dweller, dorm, hi-rise, and people without access to an outlet at home that can stretch to the car, it also takes away all range anxiety, giving you two options for power.

that's nothing wrong with the car, you're the problem, first of all you didn't do a full charge to start with, and then you should have an adapter, (check on line the country you're going to. do you want to know the problem with the Inglish people, the Inglish still think living in an imperialism culture, drive on the wrong side of the road, use imperial measurements and living in a conservative state of mind.

I wonder if the situation is any better in 2022? Are there still problems with the service providers?
I have two cars, a small electric and a big oil guzzler. But only use the electric for popping around town. Anything further than 30 miles away, from home and I-ll use the oil burner.

I drive a plugin hybrid and to be quite honest, I have no range anxiety because I can always fall back to gas. I run on electric mode as much as possible to cut emissions and I went from $200/month gas bill in my Ford Focus to $25 every other month with my Ford C-Max Energi.

In summing up he says the BMW i3 is the best EV. If you're not taking the age of the vehicle into consideration I'd be much happier driving a 4 year old Vauxhall/Opel Ampera as it has a far superior range extension.

-The best electric car in the world, because it can also run it on petrol-.
Allow me to introduce you to my Chevrolet Volt, that costs less and works. And goes further on electric. And holds more -petrol-.

What went wrong here is the fool driving the car & reviewing it. I-ve done this journey in the same car & a Tesla and had no such issues and found charging stations easily.
This man is just incompetent.

This is exactly why I held off on purchasing an EV until now. Waiting for the batteries to have at least 300 miles standard. The new Ford Mach E looks nice. Will be considering that car.

I have a bmw 520d. I filled the tank in Chester and got three quarter around my Irish road trip. Just over 800 miles from a single tank. Why would I go electric?
