That's very interesting. I am quite keen on the idea of getting a used i3 in a couple of years. Are yours the Rex version? Do you mind if I ask what range does that give in real world use? And is it feasible to keep topping up the petrol tank on a long journey to keep using the generator in preserve charge mode, or is it just a one-time use?
