When people talk to us about electric vehicles (EVs), one common worry we hear focuses on range, and the worry that folks won’t have enough juice in the battery to make it from charge to charge. Well, with the 2017 BMW i3, you can put this range anxiety to rest. The 2017 i3 sees its range improved by a whopping 50% over the 2016 model year, and that translates into peace of mind for Des Moines, IA drivers who want to “go green” with their next new BMW purchase.
The new BMW i3’s battery offers a range up to 114 miles per charge—more than enough to allay any fears of running out of juice before reaching another charging station. And the 2017 i3 can rush from 0 – 60mph in just over seven seconds, so eco-friendly doesn’t have to mean “compromise” anymore. For those who want even more options and peace of mind, there’s the additional BMW Home Charger for faster at-home charging.
If you’re ready to take the Great Green Plunge and change over to all-electric driving, we invite you to come see us at BMW of Des Moines. Here you’ll find the all-electric BMW i3, and if you’ve got any lingering questions, we’d be glad to answer those for you before getting you set behind the wheel for a test drive!
