Aaaaand they cancelled the i3
They claim they discontinued it because "customers want bigger EVs", which is half the truth - people want a bigger EV with longer range when they pay $50k for one. I love the i3, but it was an expensive car designed 10 years ago for the market of 10 years ago. Still, the idea was great, I hope other manufacturers eventually see it as the next step for hybrids.
