With a week to go before the global debut of the
BMW i3,
BMW has announced pricing for its first-ever production electric vehicle. The all-electric version of the i3 goes on sale in the second quarter of next year with a starting price of $41,350 (*not including $925 for destination nor any applicable government tax credits).
Some of the pricing elements for the i3 that BMW continues to withhold are the cost of the model using a gasoline motorcycle engine as a range-extending generator, or that of the
DC Fast Charge option. This latter feature will allow the i3's depleted lithium-ion battery pack to get an 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes; for comparison's sake, the DC quick charge feature is a $750 option on the
2014 Chevy Spark EV.
Sure,
we've already driven the BMW i3, but the production version of the BMW EV - promising the interior space of a
BMW 3 Series - will be unveiled next week at simultaneous ceremonies in New York, London and Beijing.
