The BMW i3 has a range of 100 miles at a price tag of slightly above $41 K while Tesla's top model has a range of 300 miles with a price tag of about $95 K.

BMW does offer range extender options. One is a gas powered engine that acts as a charger for the battery and the other is the ADD ON MOBILITY plan that allows i3 owners usage of gas powered BMWs for a specified amount of time.

Re BMW i3 a it feels like they are getting into the market, realizing that the electric car is for real. Tesla still seems to be ahead with their batteries and rangis everything. The BMW approach to offer a mobility package rather than just an electric car for sale is interesting and a good value proposition for customers in urban markets (which is the main target for electric cars).
