BMW i3

The BMW i3 is special because it’s the first electric car from BMW. It has a unique design that looks different from other cars. The car is super quiet when it runs and doesn’t need gas to go, just electricity. This helps keep the air clean.

How Does the BMW i3 Work?

The BMW i3 is an electric car, which means it runs on electricity not gas like most cars. Imagine it like a big toy car you can sit in and drive around. Instead of having a noisy engine, the BMW i3 has a big battery inside it. This battery is like the ones in your toys but much bigger and stronger!

To make the BMW i3 go, you need to fill up its battery with electricity. You do this by plugging it into an electric outlet, just like charging your favorite tablet or game. You can plug the car in at home, at work or at special charging stations, which are places made just for charging electric cars.

Once the battery is full, the car is ready to take you on an adventure. You just get in, press a button to start it and you’ll hear almost nothing because the car is so quiet. When you press the pedal with your foot, the car moves forward smoothly. The electricity from the battery goes to the wheels and makes them spin and take you wherever you want to go.

The BMW i3 is also smart. It can tell you how much electricity is left in the battery so you know when it needs to be charged again. So you won’t run out of power while you’re out having fun.

How Did the BMW i3 Models Evolved?

The BMW i3 started in 2013. It was an instant hit. The first model came out in 2014. It had a 60 Ah battery and could go 81 miles on a single charge.

In 2017, BMW released a new model with a 94 Ah battery. This one could go 114 miles per charge. It was stronger and went farther than the previous one.

By 2019, BMW made the i3 even better. They added a 120 Ah battery. This one could go 153 miles on a full charge. It was the most powerful i3 yet.

Each generation of the i3 got better range and tech. All models had an electric motor and could be paired with a small gas engine for longer trips. The i3 continued to evolve until 2022 with better batteries and more features with each new model.
