Hopefully the battery technology is vastly improved over the current gen.
I'm pretty happy with my current 40e. I'm averaging 650 to 700 miles per tank. And that's with just charging at work only. If I had the ability to charge it at work too I'd easily get over 900 miles per tank. I fill up once a month so I'm pretty happy with the current car. If the new one improves on the battery that would be amazing. If I could get 30 to 50 miles on a single charge I'd probably fill up once every 3 months.
I love the car and will get another 40e, but my biggest gripe is the inability for the battery to regenerate past 54% while driving in battery save mode. At first I thought it was a bug with my car, but I've been told by the BMW dealership that it's designed that way. Seems silly to not be able to get to 100% charge with the regenerative braking.
