BMW Drops Big News on the i4

The BMW i Vision Dynamics Concept wowed everyone in the fall, previewing far improved EVs for the Bavarians. It turns out the rumors are true: this will be the new BMW i4.

Just how much of the crazy styling will be retained remains to be seen. BMW is talking big about range, saying it could go well over 400 miles on a single charge. That’s aggressive, considering the car will likely compete against the Tesla Model 3, which doesn’t come anywhere near that range.

Now for the catch: don’t expect to see the i4 anytime soon. BMW says it will be released by 2025. It’s like BMW is content to watch other traditional automakers jump into the EV market, then use them to gauge if it’s a good move or not. By the time the i4 hits dealerships, the Model 3 might have better range, along with other competitors.

The other big catch is those big range figures being thrown around are likely on the European test cycle. As EVs become more common, people hopefully will start catching onto the fact that standard is skewed towards unrealistic ranges.

If you can’t wait for an all-electric BMW, more are coming much sooner. The iX3 and electric Mini Cooper both hit in 2020, so you can drive without producing emissions or stopping for pedestrians crossing the street.
