If you want an electric car with premium features that is more fun to drive than a Nissan Leaf but you aren’t ready to drop $70,000 on a Tesla Model S, the BMW i3 adeptly straddles the middle ground between the two. That it’s fun to drive is icing on the eco cake.
The i3’s design isn’t for everyone, and neither is its small size. For those wishing to go farther between their respective recharges/fill-ups at the electrical outlet/gasoline pump, the larger Chevrolet Volt delivers up to 380 miles of total range while costing over $7,000 less.
