Here at Fields BMW of Daytona, we take great pride in the line-up of new BMW vehicles that we have available to drivers in and around Daytona Beach, FL. The BMW line-up continues to improve and evolve with each passing year, as our brand continually breaks boundaries and explore new territory. One area the brand has been exploring recently is electric automotive technology, and today we would like to bring you news about the most recent development in this area. Read on to learn more.
After years of development around electric vehicle technology, we are thrilled to report that the BMW brand recently delivered the first all-electric BMW in the US, the 2014 BMW i3. Ushering in a new era of electro-mobility, the fully electric BMW i3 is truly ground-breaking. It is powered by a 22-kWh lithium-ion battery that is good for 80-100 miles of emission-free driving as well as 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
Ludwig Willisch, President & CEO for BMW of North America, spoke of the excitement by saying:
"Today marks a big day at BMW of North America - What started out as a dream for an innovative sustainable vehicle under the BMW i brand can now be found on streets across the U.S."
