The BMW i3 is one of the most popular electric vehicles on the market. The car uses a lightweight construction that is made entirely of carbon fiber and weighs in at only 2,200 pounds. This makes it easy to drive around for short distances without having to worry about refueling or finding parking space.
The i3 has an electric motor that is capable of producing 170 horsepower. The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just over 7 seconds, which is pretty quick but not fast enough to be unsafe. With this much power, the i3 can travel about 81 miles on a single charge. However, drivers will need to purchase the extended range battery for about $3,000 more in order to get a full 93 miles on a single charge.
The BMW i3 also comes with all of the necessary safety features that drivers expect from a modern vehicle. The car has front and side airbags as well as seatbelts that tighten when sensors detect an impact.
