FYI: they released a "sport" version of the car for 2018 with wider tires, and the combined EPA range is down 6% vs. the regular version. (107 vs. 114 miles)
Differences of sport vs. regular i3:
- tires: front 175/55/R20 / rear 195/50 R20 vs. 155 & 175 19's on the regular
- rides 0.4 inch lower on a wider track
- 184 hp / 199 lb-ft vs. 170 hp / 184 lb-ft, via modified motor controls and tapered roller bearings
