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.)

XL1 has no power steering, but is very nimble and easy to control due to its aerodynamic shape and light weight. kWh lithium-ion battery—integrated in the front section of the XL1—supplies the electric motor with 220 volts of electrical energy. Attaining cruise speed or overtaking on the highway just takes a bit longer.

The automotive and green electric vehicle blogosphere has been abuzz with talk of the BMW MINI E ever since July 9th, 2008, when AutoblogGreen published the rumor that 500 of the intriguing new electric cars would be released later this year in California. If my speculation holds true congratulations are due both to BMW and AC Propulsion.

The BMW i3s was likewise a quicker version of a city-focused EV, but it’s no longer produced. The liquid-cooled 400-volt lithium-ion battery pack is the same 42kWh (gross) capacity in the Fiat, but is upgraded to supply the higher current required by the more powerful motor.

ICEVs have been around for a while, and although they’ve had the time to perfect their manufacturing process and we’ve seen increased pressure on the importance of fuel economy and emissions, the thermal efficiency of the average light vehicle engine remains between 20-35%, and we’re not seeing much improvement beyond this.
