I01 s 120Ah Hatchback 5dr Auto 1sp 135kW BMW's pure-electric i3 three-door hatchback was introduced in 2013 as a slightly quirky take on how an EV should be presented. Capable of covering as much as 260km on a full charge, the 135kW/270m i3 S is capable of dispatching the zero to 100km/h sprint in 6.9sec. A 'Type 2' charging plug allows recharging from a standard outlet or a three-phase AC system. Additionally, the i3 offers faster, 39-minute recharging from a 50kW DC station. Standard equipment includes BMW's Comfort Access System, Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, sat-nav and ConnectedDrive with Concierge Services. Four seats and minimal luggage space mean the BMW i3 is very much an urban vehicle.
