BMW’s electric car has seen its driving range increase over the last few years, and it’s now estimated at 246 kilometres on a full charge. The sporty i3s relies on a 181-horsepower motor compared to 167 hp in the base i3, and in both cases, we can equip the car with a gasoline engine acting as an on-board generator, providing increased range by simply filling the fuel tank. The i3 boasts a four-passenger cockpit dressed in materials created from renewable sources.
