Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah

The BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 125 kW (168 hp) of power and 270 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 6.9 seconds (ranked №297 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 160 km/h.

Real-world range of BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah

The real-world range of the BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah is 263–321 km (ranked №427 out of 586 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

  • Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.

Plan your trips using the EV Navigation interactive map.

BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah charge port type?

The BMW i3s BEV 120 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 11 kW, resulting in approximately 76 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 49 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
