What are your driving habits? What are the longest distances you will be traveling? When driving a pure electric vehicle; if the battery runs out completely with no charging stations available you will be stranded. With the long charge times, it will take some time to make the vehicle usable again. This is where the extended range Volt becomes more practical. Filling up the gas tank is faster than waiting for the battery to charge.

Using other electrical features like the Air Conditioning, Heating, Lights, Wind Shield Wipers and playing Music; engineers say this can consume approximately 50% of the battery power which will reduce the vehicles range.

Lithium-ion technology battery life is undetermined, however, the eight year 100,000 mile warranty on the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf do give some piece of mind.

There are no manufactures producing plug-in Hybrids as of this writing. However, there are some aftermarket companies producing aftermarket add on batteries for the Toyota Prius. The extra cost of these add on batteries is approximately $11,000. This added battery boosts the gas mileage by approximately 50% for the first 35 miles. Once the battery is depleted, the Prius reverts back to its regular hybrid operation at which time the fuel economy drops slightly below that of a standard Prius because of the added battery weight. Toyota is field-testing the plug-in Prius for commercial use. There are no expected models for retail customers until 2012.

The next morning I decided it had to be a relay that was at fault so I hunted around the car looking for relays for the lights. I checked the handbook for the location of it. I took panels off here and there,I removed literally every fuse and relay I could find, pulled them all out and put them back in again. And guess what the light would still not go off. So I started looking on the web for answers. I visited most of the BMW forums I could find and found a few owners that seemed to have the same problem. Some of the answers that came back were quite similar, some people said it had to be a relay, someone suggested removing the battery for 10 minutes, then reconnecting it again and it should all reset itself again and everything should be Ok. I tried the battery idea but that didn't work either. So over the next week or so I went back to the web again and finally someone said they had tried those things and then eventually gave up and took their car to a BMW dealer.After parting with a wad of cash to pay BMW for their services, BMW said there are no relays to control the lights and the lights are all controlled by the "LCM".

 

The BMW 5-series' price on the European market starts at 40,000 EUR in Germany for the 520d version and can go as high as 70,000 EUR for the 550i version.
