The BMW i3, and its aluminum chassis and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell, gets power from BMW's 150hp electric drive system. That's juice enough for a top speed of 90 mph and a range BMW says will be approximately 124 miles on a charge. BMW has said it plans to sell 30,000 i3 models per year, starting in 2013. Reports indicate the company's planning a big reveal for the first two i's at the Frankfurt motor show this fall.
