“2015 Bmw I3 with range extender (rex) just hit 1000 miles. Had for 6 weeks. I was traveling down a freeway at 75 MPH using my electric car. As the battery was almost out of juice, I knew the fuel range extender would kick in. However, when the extender kicked in, my MPH immediately started to drop. Within the 15 seconds, I was down to 35 MPH from the 75 I was traveling. I had the accelerator floored, but could not get any power to keep up with the flow of traffic. With my hazard lights turned on. My car and I safely navigated to the side of the road. …”
