I may sell mine next year. Not because it no longer works, but for some other reasons:
- I have two cars, an ICE and the i3, one-car garage, living in a condo, so one sits outside. During the winter when it snows, I have to move it so the plow can get through which is annoying.
- I am gradually getting stiffer and stiffer, and bending to get into the i3 is getting harder some days. Similar to getting out...sometimes, it just hurts so a slightly different seat height to door and roof that offers a better entry/exit may be nearly required sooner rather than later. FWIW, once I'm in, have plenty of room, though...it's just getting there and back.
What seems like it may be my next car is the X5 hybrid available in the USA sometime next year. Enough battery capacity to handle 95% of my needs, but plenty of range and quick refill to fill in for my current ICE. And, it seems the ergonomics seem to be a bit better. Only having to insure and register one vehicle has its advantages, too. While NH doesn't have a sales tax, you do pay property tax on vehicles every year.
