BMW i3s
120 Ah
The BMW i3s 120 Ah was one of the very first cars in the range tests and covered 225 km at 90 km/h in near-freezing weather. Around 250 km was expected in summer, and it went further than the e-Golf tested shortly before. Its EV-friendly details won praise, such as preheating from the key, strong regenerative braking and an 11 kW onboard charger. The weak spot was the camera-only adaptive cruise control, which kept switching off in low sun.
