The BMW i3 is an urban electric car under development by German automaker BMW. It is an uncompromisingly sustainable vehicle designed for urban areas, according to the company. The i3 is part of BMW's "Project i".
The BMW i3 is essentially a rear-wheel-drive electric minicar. It uses an electric motor that generates an output of 170 hp. The i3 will be BMW's first zero emissions mass-produced vehicle due to its electric powertrain. With its zero-emission electric drivetrain and a range of approximately 93 miles, the BMW i3 Concept has been specifically developed for use in an urban environment.
The BMW i3 accelerates from 0-60 km/h in just under four seconds. The new electric vehicle has a driving range between 85 and 100 miles on a single charge. The five door BMW i3 is 3845mm in length, 2011mm in width and 1537mm in height.
BMW also expects to be the first company to launch a volume production vehicle on the market featuring carbon-fiber reinforced plastic to improve the vehicle's energy consumption. It is aimed at providing a high degree of urban mobility while still allowing the occasional extra-urban long-distance jaunt when fitted with a range-extender.
