What does a trip cost?
Real-world economy
Official figures come from a lab test. On the road, motorway speeds, short trips, traffic and cold weather usually use more. Motora records each drive in your i3 and works out what it really used from how you drove, priced with pump prices near you. How the drive tracker works.
Build it in 3D
Put your i3 in your Motora garage, paint it, fit wheels and a body kit, set the stance and park it next to your friends’ cars. See the 3D garage.
