Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is BMW i3 BEV 60 Ah

The BMW i3 BEV 60 Ah can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds (ranked â„–316 out of 586 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 150 km/h.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 125 kW (168 hp) of power and 250 Nm of torque.

Real-world range of BMW i3 BEV 60 Ah

The estimated real-world range for BMW i3 BEV 60 Ah falls between 122–150 km, ranking it №556 out of 586 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

BMW i3 BEV 60 Ah charge port type?

The BMW i3 BEV 60 Ah in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 7.4 kW, resulting in approximately 48 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 47 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
