Following in-vehicle usage, the BMW i3 battery retains most of its original capacity, thus continuing to offer years of emissions free power storage and expanding the sustainability concept beyond the individual vehicle life. The “plug and play” nature of the BMW i3 battery application in this system is a key element in its design.
