The other PHEVs do not excite me. BEVs are still limited or extremely inconvenient.
Looks like it might be several years before there are any good choices.
I might buy a used i3 rex to hold me over until then to reduce using a half ton SUV for errands. The Bolt is interesting for that also.
I still have the Volt for commuting and I use it for about half of the recreational travel.
I was thinking about this today. I would probably lean towards a 2019+ BMW i3 REX. ~150 mi of EV range would cover damn near all my driving, and the REX could then truly be an emergency backup generator that's seldom called upon.
I love BMWs, but their modern focus on creating designs that just barely make it through the initial warranty period then absolutely fall apart made me have a strict "NO BMW!" policy on this car purchase. Otherwise I might have given the i3 a further look.
But I think the i3 pre-2016 models had horrible range (~80 mi) to only have a tiny REX that should only be used sparingly where the range doesn't satisfy all your driving maybe a few days out of the year. Even the 2019 model having ~150 mi of range still makes me think it'd need a REX. But at least the offering is at least starting to get compelling (on the used market).
I'd want 250+ mi AER to really think I wouldn't need a REX, and even then, charging gets mighty spotty if you head out due east from Seattle, and you're going to climb some pretty serious mountains out there. I guess that's what I like about the Volt, you can do 95% of your driving on EV power, then not even worry about it in the slightest if you've got to just get in and drive a bunch that day. Sad to see it go...
