The BMW i3’s independent vehicle architecture consists of a drive module as an aluminum chassis, which carries the e-drive, the suspension and the high-voltage battery as well as a passenger cell made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) called the life module. The BMW Group plant in Leipzig also has such an energy storage farm.

This holistic approach also includes the use of vehicle batteries in stationary energy-storage devices after their mobile service life. The aspect of energy supply to the production locations also plays an important role. On downhill stretches and when braking, kinetic energy can be stored in the battery (recuperation).
