Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: not published. A fuel-economy figure was published for this car (30.5 mpg) and is withheld here: it is not comparable with the other cars in this list.↩
  2. CO₂: NRCan's charge-weighted composite — the miles it assumes are driven on grid electricity are credited at zero tailpipe — 14 g/km, or 23 g/mi. It is lower than the tailpipe rating a petrol car states, and it is not what the car emits with the battery empty.↩
  3. Fuel cost: not estimated. A plug-in hybrid's fuel use depends on how much of its driving is done on the battery, so no cost is computed for it.↩
  4. Not published for this car. The record's own reason is free to read with an account.↩
  5. Crash rating: not published. NHTSA lists this car (15260) and publishes no overall rating for it: it rates a car overall only when it has run the frontal, side and rollover tests on it.↩
  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA lists none for the 2021 i3 as of .↩
  7. Not published for this car. The record's own reason is free to read with an account.↩
  8. Not published for this car. The record's own reason is free to read with an account.↩
  9. This car is measured on the plug-in scale: litres per 100 km on fuel, a charge-weighted CO₂ rating that credits its electric miles, and horsepower. MPGe and the plain tailpipe rating do not apply to it.↩
  10. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2021 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
