The reason this is so is that 50 MPG
vehicles like the Prius, and 80 - 100 MPGe
vehicles like the Prius Plug - in and BMW
i3 REx, far outsell purely
electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S. Buyers of green
vehicles much prefer the value, range, and ease of
use that the hybrids, plug - in hybrids and extended - range EVs like the
i3 REx offer.
Developed initially for the all -
electric BMW
i3 and BMW i8 plug - in hybrid sports car — which duly led the way in
electric mobility in the premium sector — the modular structure of BMW eDrive technology sets it up perfectly for
use in various
vehicle concepts and segments.
