BMW i3
The i3 is the first of BMW’s “i” electric moels. This family of vehicles should include several other models in the future, including the i8. With its uncommon and ultramodern design, the BMW i3 is powered by a 22-kWh lithium ion battery pack whose electric motor delivers 170 horsepower and 184 lbs.-ft. of torque. The 0-100 km/h time is about seven seconds, while the operating range is expected to be between 130 and 160 kilometres.
