BMW unveils i3 Electric Car (Plug In Hybrid Electric)

[fazalwahab11375]

Today at simultaneous events in Manhattan, London and Beijing BMW unveiled the production version of its hybrid electric car, the 2014 BMW i3.

I3 has the equivalent of 170 horsepower and will hit 60 miles per hour in seven seconds. Top speed is 93 mph. It?s no Tesla, but it will get the job done. The car is also a step forward for battery life: It will go nearly 100 miles on electric power alone, presumably in its ECO Pro+ mode (there are two other drive modes as well?Comfort and ECO Pro). An additional 34-horsepower, 650cc engine doubles the range; it takes roughly three hours to charge on a 220-volt line. it looks like it will be more agile than competitors like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. Its 2,700 pounds are feather-light compared to the others, and its flat lithium-ion battery packaged along the floor of the vehicle is balanced?like the rest of the BMW fleet?with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution front to back. Priced around $41K.

Subaru, Nissan and now BMW all are beating each other by making hybrid electric cars. BMW is coming with the
BMW i3 hybrid car which is a luxury car and gives efficient performance, when we compare its performance with the other
gasoline powered engines its 30% more efficient than them. Its interior is made so classy and comfortable with
sufficient space in the car. In its exterior LED lights and chrome rims are added, which are giving it a perfect look.
The security system added in this car is remarkable, buyers will find it a reliable car. Electric cars are pollution free
and that makes them different from the gasoline powered cars. Everything is extraordinary in this car so expecting
that BMW will set an affordable price range for this car.
