The BMW i3-REx is not for everyone but I didn't like Forbes before this article. Forbes has history giving climate deniers a forum and tossing transparent shade on Tesla. Bob Wilson
Agreed, Bob. Complaining about door handles and "dinky" side stalks and "packaged meat" suggests he suffers a little too much from A.R.S. (Anal Retentive Sensitivity). The charging situations can be frustrating, although I've rarely encountered an issue. EvGo has an arrangement with ChargePoint to allow use of its stations for owners of CPO-certified i3's. I tried using my ChargePoint card at an EvGO station and it didn't work. I called EvGo on the spot and they authorized the charge. However, my wife's card works fine at an EvGo (likely to do with how she setup our registration). Regardless, the i3 is still an awesome machine and a nice departure from the blander offerings on the market.
