2017 BMW i3 (94 Ah): Complete Specs & Features

BMW had earlier announced that the 2017 i3 model will feature a better Lithium-ion battery, which will have a capacity of 33 kWh. While the dimensions of the battery pack remain the same as it was before, new tests indicate that even under varying weather conditions the redesigned BMW i3 is able to give an enhanced 114 miles range.

The 2017 BMW i3 (94 ah) is powered by a 170 hp AC synchronous electric motor, which provides an amazing 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just 7 seconds. With an EPA electricity consumption of 27 kWh/100miles, the upcoming i3 model is probably the most efficient and sporty electric vehicle in its class.

The redesigned BMW i3 also includes a Range Extender 94 Ah battery, and hence gets the name. The Range Extender provides an additional range to the EV by switching on the 2-cylinder (2.4 gallons) gasoline engines, once the battery is down to 6.5%. This aids in keeping the charge level of the battery constant by making use of a 25% larger fuel tank. The 2017 BMW i3 (94 Ah) also comes with a totally new Home Charger Connect charging station, which is specially designed for fast and comfortable charging of the EV.
