All Electric Range

86 milesThe range for a used 2018 BMW i3 is estimated to be 86 miles because electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year, with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.
The i3 Base will automatically switch to gas when the electric battery is low.

Am I Ready for a Plug-In Hybrid?

  • EV ownership works best if you can charge at home (240V outlet) This typically means a 240V home installation, or other places your car is parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice.
  • Adding a home charging system is estimated to cost $1,616 in
