It has been almost four years since I purchased my Audi Q5. At that time, I was very interested in purchasing an all-electric vehicle but there was nothing on the market that I could get excited about. Last week, BMW introduced its all-electric i3 model.  I test-drove one last night and purchased one this morning.  It should be delivered towards the end of July. It is rated for 134 MPGe in the city and has a range of 80-100 miles.  My round-trip commute is 22 miles and iRobot offers free charging stations at work.  I have owned two Mercedes (320SL, ML320) , two Porsches (944 red, 944 black), two Audi’s (A3, Q5) and the BMW makes my seventh German car.  Prior to that, I owned two British (Triumph Spitfire and GT6), two Italian (Alpha Romeo Spyder and GTV), and two Japanese (Nissan 300ZX Turbo, Lexus SC300) cars.  If Tesla follows through with their Model X it may become my first American car (I have a deposit holding a place for one that is probably 18 months from production).
