I need advice on taking a road trip with a 2019 i3 Rex

[Nightwing67]

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice.

My cousin is driving her 2019 i3 Rex from San Diego to Sacramento, about 500 miles. We’ve done shorter trips, using the Rex heavily and keeping the battery at 70%, but now I’m wondering if it’s okay to run the Rex for 6-7 hours straight, refueling multiple times. It’s a small engine, so I assume it’s fine, but are there any risks?

I have done 850 miles in a day once. It will be fine. I used the Rex when convenient and charged the battery around lunch and rest breaks.

Don't worry! No issues at all. Just stop when you need to.

I did a 700+ mile run in a day a couple of months ago with no problems, keep the battery above 20% if you can.

A couple of years ago I did a 1500-mile round trip in 4 days, on the remote Highway 97 up through Oregon and Washington, testing all my vehicle's limits. Yes, I used the REx a lot (with a 2-gallon gas can in the frunk), and charged (Level 2) during sleep, and used fast chargers for my first time ever. The journey went perfectly! And my 94Ah battery still offers 140-mile potential range when it's warm.
