The driving performance figures of the 170 horsepower AC synchronous electric motor remain virtually unchanged. The motor propels the BMW i3 from 0 to 60 mph in just over 7 seconds.

In addition to the Battery Electric BMW i3, the Range Extender model will also feature the 94 Ah battery.

With the introduction of the BMW i3 (94 Ah), BMW i now also offers a new BMW Home Charger Connect, a residential charging station designed for comfortable and fast home charging featuring additional connected functions.
