BMW iX3, the new electric approach at BMW

BMW iX3 is one of the most awaited cars this year, which is expected to launch this fall, according to BMW officials.

Why is the BMW iX3 an important model? Besides the fact that it will be a reputable competitor in the C segment, this is the first electric model from BMW to be built on the Neue Klasse platform, which will bring a new type of high-power batteries. The car will offer 400 kW charging capabilities, as well as excellent range, at up to 800 kilometers on a single charge.

This will be possible thanks to a new battery architecture, built on 800 volts, which will allow a recharge of an equivalent 350 km of range in just 10 minutes.

Not only that, but the new iX3 will offer drivers the possibility to power a household or the electric grid via a charging station from the company, which will output power from the vehicle's batteries at 19.2 kW.
