Finally a little bit of extra range with the BMW i3

That were missing a little bit, the feeling that you actually somewhere could come up with that thing.
BMW has a new version of the i3, the 94 Ah. And that stands for Ampere-hours, which is again an indication of the capacity of the battery. That is so 94 Ah, and that was 60. So you could say that the capacity of the battery by about 50% has grown, and that is also reflected in the distance you can travel. It was 194 kilometres, there are 300 km far. Well, at least in theory. BMW is so honest to admit that this is the distance that the test cycle is reached, in reality, you’ll get 200 km far. But then you can enjoy the air-show low, turning on the radio, as well as the lights and the wipers.
And that’s nice, because previously it was the prick really so, and was almost sentenced to the purchase of the version with the range extender, the REX. That is a two-cylinder motorfietsmotortje that works as a generator, but that made it again for a higher tax liability. And that you would not if you have an i3 bought.
The new i3 is coming summer available from 36.700 euros, 1200 euros more than the version with the old battery, 60 Ah. Which remains, incidentally, just available. And if you are tired of that fellow with his 94 Ah much less often need to load, then you can get the new battery and just let it build, he is, in fact, exactly the same size. If you want a range extender, then you’ve at least 39.990 euros (the version with 94 Ah cost 41.190 euro).
About that loading spoken, BMW has at the same time with the new version of the i3 also has a new charging system is launched. Thus you can charge your still as fast as with the smaller battery.
All good news so. Apart from the looks, they have little changed. Only some new colours, which previously only found on the i8. For some this is good news, but I also know very many people who would rather had seen them they had done in place of the batteries. But that is very personal, of course.
