For a three month trial, three BMW i3’s have been adapted specifically for commercial use.

Companies can make major savings by using the i3, such as congestion charges in London as well as the usual savings associated with operating electric vehicles such as tax and fuel.

The use of BMW i3’s can also help to increase a business’s green credentials. The range extender has a 650cc two-cylinder petrol engine, emitting only 13 g/km of CO2. The engine is not linked to the wheels and is used solely for generating electricity.

The i3 is a great choice for many business’s as the range extender is ideal for those drivers who have to drive for longer distances and don’t want to be ‘out of operation’ for too long as many electric vehicles take their time to charge fully.

So far during the trial, the drivers / companies have been very positive of their experience of the BMW i3 thus far.
