In a simultaneous—and video linked—unveil in New York, London and Beijing, BMW introduced the production version of its i3 battery-electric vehicle on Monday. The BMW i3 uses the BMW eDrive rear-wheel drive powertrain previously found on the BMW ActiveE (but the i3 is significantly lighter). Earlier post.)

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. has constructed prototype PHEV trucks for electric utility companies which can deliver energy to power an entire neighborhood during maintenance or repair when there is a power outage [ 4 ].

Alternatively, may we suggest the sound of the neighborhood ice cream truck? Nonetheless, I do agree that it wastes of energy, reduces range and should NOT be mandatory. We always seem to hear that one coming from a mile away. a cyclist is much quieter, and these cars do have horns still for people what step out in front.

Although charging infrastructure is beginning to find its way into cities, it may be awhile until they are available in residential neighborhoods en masse. So much more convenient than having to take time out of my day and go out of my way (wasting more energy) to get a charge elsewhere or do battery swaps.
