2014 BMW i3 Electric Car: Production Begins Today In Germany

The 2014 BMW i3 plug-in electric city car has moved one step closer to showrooms, as production began today at the company's plant in Leipzig, Germany.

While assembly takes place at Leipzig, components from the i3 are sourced from BMW and joint venture facilities in various German cities--Wackersdorf, Landshut and Dingolfing among them--as well as Moses Lake, Washington.

BMW calls the i3 the first premium vehicle designed from the ground up as an electric car.

It has many unusual design features, including a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell and a separate aluminum chassis for the powertrain and suspension.

The i3 is powered by a 125-kilowatt (170-horsepower) electric motor and a 22-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.
