BMW I3 ROAD TRIP TO COLLECT AN AUDI E-TRON

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on an ambitious road trip in a BMW i3, highlighting its limitations for long-distance travel, particularly its small battery and reliance on the range extender. The journey to collect an Audi e-tron is fraught with challenges due to unavailable charging infrastructure. The i3's range extender, a small gasoline engine, is discussed in detail, including software modifications to enable earlier activation and a slightly larger fuel tank. While the reviewer praises the i3's unique design and engineering, they emphasize its unsuitability for extensive road trips, contrasting it with more capable EVs like Tesla. The latter half of the video focuses on the Audi e-tron, which is lauded for its luxurious interior, advanced driver-assistance features, and comfortable ride. The e-tron's charging experience is detailed, noting the inconvenience of slower charging speeds due to infrastructure limitations, but overall, the reviewer is highly impressed with the e-tron's build quality, refinement, and technology, deeming it a potentially great road-tripping car.
