We have an i3 REX it gets 80-85 miles on a charge, got to go further? Hack in the Euro specs (a $40 app for your phone and a blue tooth com that plugs into your car) and you can turn on the range extender and get an additional 110 miles on 2 gallons of gas for a combined 195 mile range.

We really want a Tesla Model S and will probably get one in the next couple of year, I am all for a used one. I am all about letting the other chump take the depreciation hit.

Our i3 was 18K out the door, a 55K+ new car for less than 20K with a warranty and appeared to be brand new.
