That’s right! – There’s another new electric vehicle on it’s way… fully electric…. fully affordable… and will rival the new Tesla Model 3.
Bal, why you so excited by this?
Because… this is the future! We’re in an era of hybrids. I have a hybrid. Hybrid sales are on the increase. And there’s more and more folk moving to electric/PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles).
But… what we’re seeing here is the move to fully electric!
The i4 is claimed to have a range of over 373 miles, a 0-62mph time of 4.0sec and a top speed of more than 124mph.
Now for me, that’s not bad! Not bad at all.
Various spy shots of the vehicle have been taken whilst BMW have been out testing it in various weather conditions.
But the whole point of this is – that car manufacturers see the trend. They understand the trend and are working to provide what customers want.
We’re still a little way away from the self-driving cars – though they are coming! – but we’re definitely moving to fully electric vehicles.
And premium brands, such as BMW, Mercedes, etc… are working aggressively to bring some of their most sold models, in an electric form to the market.
Will we see more and more electric vehicles?
YES! – we definitely will. As the battery range becomes better, more local garages are able to service them and more charging points are available… then yes.
I was in Lands End the other day… and even they had electric charging points in their car park!
We’re are now fully entering the i range… started with i3 and i8… we’ll have the i4…. i everything. And other manufacturers will do the same.
