Greetings from Los Angeles! I'm tired of giving my money to the oil companies. They are singlehandedly endangering the human race, they've been lying to us for years, filling our government with their puppets, and polluting our world so they they can enrich themselves. I want to vote against...

BMW will rework the front and rear of the i3 and equip the car with a new battery to increase its range sometime in 2017. The range increase will be somewhere less than 50%. In other words, it will be less range than the Bolt EV or the Model 3. And base model will be priced higher. BMW is...

Ok in April I traded in my 2014 Chevy Volt for a 2014 BMWi3. Now that I have been driving it for a few months I have lost the "fever" for a new car. Well I wish I had my Volt back. Wehy..the i3 is a great EV but I have found a few faults I believe the Volt is far superior. First the...

My Volt lease ended three weeks ago, and I'm just sitting on the sidelines. Before GM settled on its current ELR pricing scheme, I once fancied the idea that I would get into the Caddy once the Volt lease ended. So the question I pose to you, loving Volt owners, is what would it take to get you...

It's a shame to have to post this here but for weeks no one outside of here has answered the following question regarding the I3. Is the I3 performance the same when driving in range extender mode as it is in the Volt when using the range extender?... Not sure why that's such a difficult...

BMW’s pending i3 all-electric car will offer an optional 2-cylinder motorcycle-derived engine stuffed in the trunk area to extend range to 250 miles. The vehicle is now on display in Detroit and the configuration is akin to that of the Chevy Volt and more closely to the Fisker Karma, as the...

A BMW i3 with the range extender option was pictured for the first time by worldcarfans.com. For those unfamiliar with the i3, the base car will be a pure EV with a 90-100 mile EPA range rating. You can also order it with a range extender as an option(no official word on pricing yet but it's...

Is the Bavarian maker of “Ultimate Driving Machines” going to become the maker of the ultimate Volt-inspired expressions of advanced mobility? Last week BMW caught observers by surprise by announcing it would make available an optional range-extending engine to its pending...
