BMW’s i3 provides the lead to range extension

THE English electro-rocker Gary Numan once asked: “Are friends electric?” He also had a massive hit with a song called ‘Cars’. Combine the two and you’ve got the query ‘Are Cars Electric?’

Well yes, cars are electric and most of them are terrible and plagued with demons which give us humans bad stuff like “range anxiety” and introduce us to new games such as “find the charge point” or “find a working charge point”.
