A small cut from the bleeding edge of car technology

Bill, my business partner and friend, and I are both big fans of electric cars.  He was the first of us to own a Nissan LEAF, and I followed suit.  I then moved to the Tesla Model S, and he later changed to the BMW i3.  In the course of driving his new car, which he generally quite likes, he discovered a very interesting--and unpleasant--side effect of an otherwise very useful bit of technology his car includes.

This video tells the story of his discovery.



Clearly, North Carolina car regulations and the range-extender technology have some synchronization issues!
