BMW’S i3 is currently the cheapest new full-electric vehicle for public sale in Australia (the new Renault Zoe is fleet only for now while the new-gen Nissan Leaf won’t arrive for some time yet).
At $70K, that speaks volumes about this country’s lack of EV support from car-makers and governments.
Still, the Germans aren’t fazed, and have stepped things up with a ‘performance’ version of its brilliant but expensive little green machine, known as the i3s (with a little ‘s’, not plural).
Does it bring the EV experience closer to the regular BMW brand experience?
