The i3 is a lovely quirk-mobile. Unfortunately no roads trips for this one, as it mostly stays in the county for work. Range anxiety doesn’t surface as I charge at my work offices. I haven’t put gas in this thing in about 6 weeks!
But yes, it’s short range is it’s biggest drawback. It’s function has to be thought of a little bit more than other cars. A fellow asked me if I’d recommend it for his daily commute from Riverside County to San Diego. It was a quick no. The big question seems to be “Will it serve it’s purpose efficiently?”
