I'm considering buying a 2017 i3 with the 94ah Battery for the wife (not REX as I don't want the maintenance on the gas engine) and I wonder what the real life range of the car is. We are in Florida, so there will be plenty of AC use.
If she would drive 70 - 75 mph on the highway, what is the realistic range. I'm sure that around town, the car will likely exceed it's rated range of 114 miles but I wonder how bad the drop is at highway speeds.. While I get 250 to 275 mile range on my 2019 Kona Electric at 65 mph, it drops to like 230 or so at 70 mph and around 200 - 210 miles range at 75 mph, so I assume that the range loss will be similar on the i3.. Can you still get let's say 80 miles range at 75 mph?
