The i8 is just awesome and can't get over how folks flock to it whenever I drive or park it. It is the Pure Impulse World edition. Didn't order it, the dealer called us and said they have received two, if we are interested. This is our 19th BMW from this dealership. So, lucked out on getting this bad boy without waiting.
Only disappointment is after a full charge, I only get about 14 miles electric and that goes down fast. Try to drive it in Sport mode but it doesn't matter.
I ordered a Seimens 240 volt charger. Should get it this week, so we'll see if this makes a difference. If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know.
Have to say that the i8 is the BEST car we have every driven.

Congrats on the cool car. :-)
E-range, like fuel range, is very much impacted by how you drive. I get over 20 miles all the time. The charger impacts only charging speed, not range. The battery will hold what it can hold, no matter how you feed it.
