Estimates, not measurements: the WLTP figure scaled by the same temperature and road factors for every car (for example 65% for cold motorway driving, 115% for mild city driving). Your range depends on speed, wheels, load and heating. For a planned stop, use the charging simulator.
Rating calculation pending live road testing.
The official combined WLTP range for the BMW i3 60 Ah is 115 km (71 miles).
In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 83 km (52 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.
Charging the 18.8 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 1.5 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 2.3 hours (typically overnight).
The BMW i3 60 Ah supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 47 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 23 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.
At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €4.51. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €12.22.
