BMW is upgrading the battery pack in its i3 electric vehicle this summers. The improved system would provide a 50% increase in range. This would take the range from 81 miles to around 120.
That figure doesn't take into consideration the optional gasoline three-cylinder engine that can increase driving range by around 80 additional miles.
BMW is reportedly also planning a few other unannounced upgrades for its entry-level EV, which starts at $42,400 before tax incentives. i3 has open-pore wood on the dash that ages with the car. That car, which was unveiled at CES earlier this month, boasts a 200-mile range for a mere $30,000 — after tax incentives. And that's without any sort of gasoline-burning range-extender onboard.
