So far, I seem to be able to extrapolate the expected range of most of the plug-in hybrids from what I was getting with my gen 1 Volt - certainly holds true here. It is more than a little disappointing that the 330e's pack is so small compared to, well, virtually every other plug-in hybrid on the market...heck, even the A3 E-tron's usable capacity is higher.
Sure the 330e is faster than the A3, but that's mostly due to the bigger engine in the 3. Given the crapload of 3 series BMW sells in he U.S., it would have been nice if BMW would have sized the pack to get closer to covering The longer U.S. work commutes. Heck, part of the cost would be subsidized to boot since currently the 330e only qualifies for about $4k of the available $7500 for the U.S. government due to the small pack.
