The Impressive Technology of the BMW i3
The BMW i3 is transforming electric cars for the better. For a few years the electric car industry has been hindered due to the poor reputation associated with electric vehicles in general. They were seen as unreliable due to the poor battery performances and long charging times. Often the designs were not appealing and they were not taken seriously by serious car owners. All that is changing and BMW are leading the way.

Gorgeous Design
The i3 is an impressive looking vehicle that has great design and specifications. The design is suitable for all sorts of environments. There is plenty of space on the inside and the silent drive is a pleasure to experience, even when you reach 70mph. This car doesn’t look like a golf buggy and it doesn’t run like one. It has real power and the design is something to be proud of.
The small size of the i3 is perfect for those who live and work in the city. Suitable for short commutes, you can travel distances of up to 100 miles on a single charge. The compact proportions and the design all aids the power of the battery pack, reducing drag and getting you further. The small design also makes it easier to find parking spaces, and squeezing into the tightest gap is possible.
Sustainability is the Name of the Game
The electric car is becoming more popular as the world works to reduce CO2 emissions. The i3 doesn’t pollute with gases and toxins and it doesn’t add to noise pollution either. It provides a clean way to travel that will leave your conscience clear. BMW take sustainability seriously and therefore the materials used are also sourced responsibly.
The interior of the i3 uses natural and sustainable materials. One of these materials is the KENAF fibres that are found in the door panels. Other materials include the use of naturally tanned leather, textiles that are created by 100 recycled fibres and the plastics that have been used are 35% recycled or come from renewable sources.
Charging Freedom
The main difference you will experience when owning the i3 is charging a battery instead of filling up a tank with petrol. You receive a cable that permits superfast charging at the BMW i Wallbox for home charging. The i wallbox allows you to charge within 3 hours and there is a rapid charge option that will fully charge your battery in half an hour. To use the rapid charge option you will need to visit the DC rapid charge stations or similar which are now found all over the country.
Charging responsibly in a way that will help prolong the battery life is recommended and made easy thanks to BMW technology. The i wallbox has a timer so you can set up charging during the small hours of the night and have the charge completed in time for your commute in the morning.
