 Sp> Welcome to Aussie electric utopia.

I bought a BMW i3 with the range extender, a little 650cc gas engine
with a 2 gallon tank that runs a generator to preserve the state of
charge or to power the car. I can get about 75 miles on gas only.

I wonder how far apart the farthest gas stations are in Australia?
Probably quite far.

Some people have gone to the extent of creating another gas tank in the
frunk or just carrying a 2 gallon Jerry can in the frunk to give you
around 150 miles gas range.

That's way outside of my use case. I work from home, taking occasional
60 mile round trips to an office. I can charge from home overnight and
when I do drive, I'm going to Silicon Valley, with a ton of charging
stations if needed.

We also have a SUV for long trips and trips with the family and dogs.
