BMW has announced the UK pricing of its all-electric BMW i3, which is probably one of the most anticipated cars in its history. This electric SUV will be available for customers in the UK in November 2013.

It is the world’s first premium electric vehicle designed from the ground up to be powered by an electric drive system. It is also a world first by virtue of bringing together visionary design, pioneering technology and an innovative vehicle concept that includes a passenger cell made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP).

Customers can expect a leasing price starting from just £369 a month (subject to conditions). Those who enter into a 36 month contract agreement for the 100% electric BMW i3 will pay an initial £2,995 (incl. VAT) followed by monthly payments of £369 (incl. VAT) and contract mileage of 24,000 miles.

Those customers who wish to purchase the BMW i3 outright can do so from £25,680 OTR (OTR price includes subsidy of £5,000 towards ownership subject to OLEV grant being approved), while the price for the range extender version, that features an additional 650cc two-cylinder petrol engine to maintain the battery charge and extend the range to an approximate 180 miles on one tank of fuel, will be announced at a later date.

Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management, Sales and Marketing BMW, said: “The BMW i3 heralds the dawn of a new era for individual mobility and for the BMW Group. True to a genuine BMW, the BMW i3 has strong emotional appeal, outstanding product substance and a guarantee of sheer driving pleasure.

“With this leading-edge vehicle and compelling price, we will provide customers with an attractive offer for electromobility.”

BMW i3 products and services will be sold via a multi-channel sales model, comprised of authorized BMW i partners, a Customer Interaction Center (CIC) as well as an online platform. All sales channels will be fully networked and customers will be able to personalise their entire purchasing process to suit their needs.

The BMW i3 electric comes as standard in the UK with AC Fast Charging which sees a 7.4 kW charge power up the BMW i3 from zero to 80% within three hours. This can be performed by the optional BMW i Wallbox created to give customers a comprehensive and premium sustainable mobility experience.

Installation will be provided at the customer’s home and ‘green’ power options will be offered via selected BMW i partners, for emission-free home charging. AC Fast Charging is also the most widespread public charging option in the UK.

Occasional charging can also be performed using a pre-supplied cable, fitting a standard household socket at 3.7 kW, when a 32 Amp AC Fast Charging port is not available. Charging this way takes eight to 10 hours.

DC Fast Charging is the third and final option available to owners and allows a BMW i3 to get an 80% charge in just 30 minutes to one hour. It uses a 50 kW connection to do this and is the best option for public locations where quick short charges are required.
