Richard Berry road tests and reviews the BMW i3 94Ah with specs, energy consumption and verdict at its Australian launch.

When do start to panic about needing to charge your phone? At what percentage do you begin getting anxious? How low will you go before you feel you have to plug in?

A survey of the CarsGuide.com.au office found that out of 37 people eight per cent were already running for the charger when their phone got to 60 per cent, while another eight per cent couldn’t go beyond 50 per cent.
