Valid points, but the i3 still has a niche in the market in that it's the only series-hybrid offering out there. For certain buyers that's enough to tip the needle, 200 mile range competitors or not.
Yeah I mean I loved my BMW and I would love to buy a BMW EV, but the i3 is not in contention with the Bolt or the Leaf for me right now (and I will be getting a new one in 2017.)
