BMW claim that it's new $35,000 i3 will be a better but than the Chevy Volt according to proce and it will have 99 miles of range from its rear-mounted electric motor and floor-mounted batteries. BMW i3 will also be capable of speeds upto 100 mph which is more than enough for a hybrid, and the i3 could bring the equivalent of 150 horsepower. Cargo will be divided between the rear seats and in the front trunk. BMW has said that much of the body will be made of carbon-reinforced plastic. Wireless charging is one intriguing concepts that the i3 offers in market. In collaboration with industrial giant Siemens, BMW is working on a magnetic field charging system, where a car would parked above a charging station. At that point, a coil in both the ground and the vehicle would recognize each other and begin the charge. This concept makes the i3 stand out of Prius's and the Chevy Volt who are only capable of charge plugged in via wire at a garage or mall for a few hours
