The ICE powertrain is about the same weight as extra battery would be on a full EV with 250mi of range. That range is not enough for inter-city use, especially with recharging rates at present for anything other than a Tesla. With the 330e, you get all-electric for in town use and ICE for inter-city. For the next few years, this is optimum. When solid-state batteries are available and lots of 150 KW chargers, all-electric will make sense for other than special cases. I'm really liking the new 330e with the new "individual" colors reported to be available. Blue with all leather Red or White interior and it'll be equivalent to the Jag i Pace I recently drove. The i Pace's interior really set it apart. Otherwise, I thought the 330e was a better car. With these new all-leather interiors, the 330e is a chalenger to the i Pace, for $30K less.
