Yes, but far too many negative downsides of the REx version, especially considering that it would add little benefit in my case.

Weight
Cost
Huge tax disadvantages (0% BIK vs 5% BIK for REx in UK)
Servicing
Tiny fuel tank anyway
Hugely inefficient to generate electricity from petrol
Cannot keep the batteries charged sufficiently to maintain an 80mph motorway speed anyway.


Far better in my cse to keep the i3 light and pure, and to use any of my other cars when range is required.
