@carspecwill Iβm also interested in the #BMW330e hybrid, but the E range is far more limited than an i3. Used availability is also quite limited and prices are also generally $30-50K from local dealers (much higher than i3).
Not ready to buy a new non-hybrid EV. The technology is evolving. Battery replacement options and costs are not well known. Leasing is not appealing to me for long term financial considerations.
Hence the appeal of used REx or hybrid options at a reasonable cost.
