Yeah, as I posted below http://priuschat.com/threads/bmw-i3-why-this-little-ev-has-big-potential.135760/page-7#post-2002237" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in response to someone's emphasis about MPGe, I assert that most EV drivers care about range and few care about MPGe.GRA said:It's what we expected, but now we know. From insideevs.com:
"BREAKING: BMW i3 BEV Gets Official EPA Rating – Range 81 Miles, 124 MPGe Combined"

Golly, I'm so excited about that highest in the U.S. MPGe rating, I really don't care about the range.:roll:
Also, did anyone notice the word subcompact on the sticker? That strongly implies that's the EPA size classification it got vs. the midsize Leaf. EPA size classifications for other EVs can be found at http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/evsbs.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; under their Specs tab and also via http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbsSelect" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
FWIW, from http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=33900&id=34516&id=34639&id=34400" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, the '14 Volt and Prius c are compacts, the Plug-in Prius (and regular Prius) and Corolla are midsize.
