True. When that time comes my 2018 530e will shine even more brightly. While my principal concerns are the environment and the right to ride in the car pool lane at any time, I do mostly local driving and I have a garage with a charger so I can recharge during the day.

On my last gasoline fill I did 975 miles on just over 3/4 of a tank of gasoline (roughly 9.7 gallons).
