A small difference for sure though when combined with the ability to initiate the rex the difference is material. If you can start the rex with 25% charge then you can run through all the gas and then go battery to the next gas station. Topped up run on gas until out again.
Running at nearly dead battery and a thinner margin on gas just makes the six times a year transit where real distance is required a consideration for me. Sure I could drive my wife's 328 wagon. I just want what I want and so I am taking opportunities to encourage change.
As noted before 98% of the time I could get by with the BEV version. I just want to get around on battery in my day to day driving, yet have the capacity to drive to Carmel or Santa Rosa for the weekend and just plan on a couple fill ups to get me home comfortably.
Of course I could just migrate from my 135 to a 235, I just think going green(er) would be good and I am fascinated by the technology and enjoy how it drives.
