The pure-electric BMW i3 duo is now available in a storage capacity of 120 hours. With this, in principle, there is a 300-kilometer range, according to practical measurements.
For the fifth year after the launch of the i3, the Bavarian brand has reached its car storage capacity of up to 120 amperes and its gross power output of 42.2 kilowatts. For comparison: In 2013, when the BMW i3 was launched, the high-voltage battery had a storage capacity of 60 amperes and an energy output of 22.6 kilowatts, followed by the second generation of the energy storage unit in 2016, bringing it to 94 hours and 33 kilowatt hours.
The essence of this is, of course, an electric range of about 30 percent higher than the predecessor models.
The BMW i3 (120 Ah) test of the EU Cycle (NEDC - New European Driving Cycle) test range is 359 kilometers per charge (the predecessor model is 290-300 kilometers), while the global standard for the most dynamic vehicle use results The Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) is capable of measuring 285-310 kilometers ( 235–255 kilometers from the predecessor model).
In the case of the stronger BMW i3s (120 Ah), these numbers will change from 330 to 345 kilometers (the predecessor model is 280 kilometers) and 270 to 285 kilometers (the predecessor model is 235 to 245 kilometers).
How much more expensive 120 Ah would be than the 94-hour version did not come from the manufacturer. Market launch starts in November this year in Germany.
