BMW i3 (with range extender)

The BMW i3 with range extender is an electric vehicle designed for eco-conscious driving. Its primary power source is a rechargeable battery that powers an electric motor, producing zero emissions during operation. The range extender is a small, efficient gasoline engine that activates only when the battery runs low, providing additional power to extend driving distance. This setup allows for flexible use—initially running solely on electricity, then switching to the fuel generator for longer trips—combining the benefits of electric driving with greater reassurance over range limitations. It's ideal for city commuting and occasional longer journeys.
