THE BMW i3s.
Lightning-fast. And charged with emotion.
The BMW i3s combines excellent driving dynamics with the most modern technology. The Automatic Stability Control (ASC) provides maximum traction and stability while acceleration and braking. More sporty driving dynamics offers the SPORT driving mode. Furthermore, the sport steering with a correspondingly adapted steering torque and the sport suspension, lowered by ten millimetres, increase agility.

* The BMW i3 must not be charged with cables more than 30 metres long.

Home Charging.
Especially when you are at home, charging your battery should be as convenient as possible. This is why we offer several options of charging stations, so-called BMW Wallboxes, as well as a charging cable that you can plug into any socket. This enables you to adapt the charging times and corresponding ranges to match your precise circumstances.

Public Charging.
Various charging stations are available for charging in public. Currently there are more than 55 ChargeNow charging stations across South Africa and neighbouring countries.

Why do the ranges vary?
The respective range of an electric vehicle depends on various factors such as driving style, route conditions, vehicle equipment, weather conditions and payload.
In detail
High average speeds (highway) reduce the range most significantly, while inner-city traffic leads to a higher range due to lower speed and higher recuperation shares (in contrast to vehicles with internal combustion engines). Furthermore, the range is reduced at low temperatures due to heating, and high temperatures with strong air conditioning. Regarding the special features/equipment, the selection of larger tyre combinations generally reduces the range (if the aerodynamic disadvantage is not compensated for by a more closed wheel design).
General range specification and range values in this indicator
In the model selection, the communicated range is based on the WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light-Duty Test Procedure) cycle.
WLTP enables a calculation of the range under prescribed driving conditions. WLTP assumes a defensive driving style with a route mix of city streets, country roads and highways.
The range indicator enables you to estimate the range under your typical driving conditions. The outer circle represents the calculated range value based on linear distances (not the actual street map), while the inner circle shows the calculated value -30% to take the real-life routes into account.
What are the assumptions underlying the driving style settings?
Setting a "sporty" driving style assumes 100% highway driving with an average speed of approximately 130 km/h and a dynamic overtaking style. The "economical" setting assumes defensive driving on country roads with an average speed of around 80 km/h. Settings in between produce a mixture of both.
