Hey, Whereitis -- you can expect a drop of e-range about 1/3 in winter, if your experience is anything like mine. My i3 is a '17, with the 94Ah battery. It reports over 140-mile potential e-range during summer heat (and four years ago it was 155), and drops to under 100 in winter (which used to be about 125). To reinforce my optimism, I only check range with heat and A/C off!

That's about what I figured. I look forward to finding out, but I'll always run in comfort mode. It's my car, it has to be comfortable

Eco Pro mode can be configured in iDrive to have full Comfort mode climate control strength making it just as comfortable from a climate control perspective but with a less sensitive power pedal during the first half of its range and more sensitive in the last half.

Interesting point, I'll try it just to see, but so far I'm pretty satisfied with the pedal tuning and the quickness in general. Now if it only went faster than 92mph...
 
I have about 70 miles on my 2015 REX gas and about 82 on battery when full. That said I coded the i3 to use the full tank of gas and I turn on the REX at 50-60% when driving for more than 50 miles. I rarely use comfort mode.
 
Mine generally predicts 155mi after a full charge. (2017 I3 Rex, 94ah)

Realistically, i think the range is about 130-132 on a summer day with no ac. Last mostly full discharge, I got 124mi with 9.5% battery remaining.
 
I'm in the US Great Plains. My '17 94Ah with REX shows about 120 miles in mild weather. Mild weather is relative, and I don't usually turn off the HVAC but for about 10-15 days per year. When it's cold, 88 miles on a fully charged battery.
 
My always in ECO Pro mode i3 in the midwest on a full charge will say;
Spring and Fall (no hvac)- 155 to 161 miles
Summer (with A/C) - 130 to 144 miles
Winter (eco pro heat and winter tires)- 111 to 117 miles
Midwest peak winter (comfort heating, full heated seats, defog from and back windows, winter tires) - 84 to 90
