Gotta love this quote regarding REx:
"Truly setting the i3 apart from other EVs is the optional 0.7L gasoline-fueled generator that roughly doubles range to 150 miles (241 km) and mitigates the fear of being stranded when the electricity runs out."

I stopped explaining the REx thing when people ask me about range. I just say "150 miles".
