The BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah has a 42.2 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 182 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 20.8 kWh per 100 miles (or 208 Wh/mile) — ranked №405 out of 566 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 125 kW (168 hp) and a torque of 199 lb-ft.

Real-world range of BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah

BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah achieves a real-world range of 164–200 miles, placing it at №411 among 572 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah charge port type?

The BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 48 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The BMW i3s BEV 120 Ah supports a maximum DC charging rate of 49 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use our Charging calculator.
