One of our readers recently reached out to see if CleanTechnica could help him track down a photo of the BMW i3 REx ICE generator. I’m not sure how many BMW i3 REx owners we have here, but probably a few, and some of you may have found a photo somewhere else somehow? This … [continued]
As the title states, a former Chevy Volt owner and Ford Fusion Energi owner has now bought a “fully loaded” BMW i3 REx. He put up a post on the GM-Volt Forum that is sort of a BMW i3 REx review with comparisons to the Volt, and he also gave me … [continued]
Earlier this month, the EPA ratings for the 100% electric BMW i3 were released and US deliveries began. The BMW electric car is now the most efficient car on the US market. It is rated at 124 MPGe (74 MPG/MPGe better than a Toyota Prius) and 81 miles of range … [continued]
BMW will be issuing a recall for over 19,000 i3 REx (range-extended) cars towards the beginning of April, due to concerns about fuel vapors potentially starting fires, according to recent reports.

South Africa’s EV public charging network is growing all the time, and thanks to Shaun and his partners, evCrowdRoute is one of the firms making this happen. CleanTechnica caught up with Shaun Maidment to discuss this:
The travel log of my trip from the Appalachians to Florida was quite different from my 3 day trip up. I again drove a 2015 BMW i3 REX with 71 miles of electric range. On the 3 day trip up to the Appalachians, I avoided using gas at all, going out of my way to find and use Level 2 chargers between the fast chargers. That is, until the last half hour to the mountain cabin.
The Model 3 is the standout, Zen-of-zero-emissions electric vehicle that is meeting peoples hopes and wishes straight on. Even though I don’t have a Model 3, I’d agree with anyone singing Model 3 praises.
