BMW i3 : An Ultra Light Electric Car Launched | Photos and Video.

BMW, one of the most successful and famous car making company in the world, launched it's much awaited, Ultra Light Electric Car called "i3". BMW launched it's electric i3 car on Monday, at launch event in New York, London and Beijing.

They said this electric car is the response to the global trends of urbanization, and the need for decreased carbon emissions, and more sustainable transportation.

The car is important for BMW because it’s one of the first electric cars built from the ground up (not a traditional car stuffed with batteries), showing that BMW has put considerable time and money into making the car. Tesla’s Model S is one of the other electric cars that have been designed to be EVs from the beginning.

With a range of 80 to 100 miles, the i3 could be a competitor to Nissan’s LEAF, but it’s also super light, and BMW used carbon fiber-reinforced plastic for the car’s body. The i3 2014 also has an optional range extender engine (like GM’s Volt) and it costs around $40K - so competitively priced. The only bad news is that you can’t get the car in the U.S. until 2014. And don't know when it will come to India? Don't know why the price is so low. Indian car lovers and buyers can easily afford that price for BMW. But the Look and Feel of the i3 is awesome and I personally like it. What's your opinion about this? Let us know by leaving a comment. We love comments. See more Photos below:
