BMW i3: Doubled range thanks to new energy package: 120 Ah – and soon even 147 Ah.
Investing in sustainability – for a long electric car life
The BMW i3 has long been an icon of electromobility. Many drivers are attached to their i3 – and for good reason. With its lightweight and extremely durable aluminum-carbon body, it was built ahead of its time. And now it’s getting even better: a modern battery replacement doubles the range and gives the i3 many more years of electric driving pleasure.
New energy package: 120 Ah – and soon even 147 Ah for a range of up to 360 km
The installation of a new 120 Ah battery not only gives the i3 significantly more capacity, but also brings it up to the latest technical standard with a software update. Particularly exciting: the even larger 147 Ah battery will be available from the end of the year – a real quantum leap for all those who want to combine long-distance capability and suitability for everyday use.

The table below shows a direct comparison of the different i3 battery versions:
| Battery version | Battery capacity | Actual range | Battery weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 Ah | ~22 kWh | 130-150 km | 230 kg |
| 94 Ah | ~33 kWh | 185-210 km | 256 kg |
| 120 Ah | ~42 kWh | 260-300 km | 276 kg |
| 147 Ah | ~52 kWh | 320-360 km | 280 kg |
The i3 remains a pioneer. And now it is becoming a sustainable endurance runner.
Of course, such a replacement is no bargain. But it makes ecological and economic sense, because the longer an electric car drives, the more sustainable it becomes over its life cycle.
An additional plus point: the old battery is recycled free of charge and is thus given a new purpose in stationary energy storage systems or raw material cycles.
Conclusion
Anyone who loves their BMW i3 now has the unique opportunity to extend it into the future. A modern battery, longer range, new software – and all this in a vehicle whose body practically never ages.
