BMW i3 Recycling Process – Video

 

With its carbon-fiber/aluminum structure and electric powertrain, the i3 advances BMW’s legendary driving dynamics into the future. It handles well due to a low center of gravity; in our testing, it went from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The EPA estimates a battery-only range of 81 miles; it charges in 3 hours on a 220-volt outlet. An optional gas engine extends the total range to 150 miles, quelling dead-battery anxiety. For 2017, the i3 will have an estimated battery-only range of 114 miles.
