The BMW i3 also originally launched with a "Range Extender" edition which featured a small petrol generator to extend the range of the battery up to around 180 miles (NEDC) for the larger 33kWh battery version. This version is no longer available new, but can still be found on the used car market.
Charging time for the BMW i3 Range Extender is about five hours from empty to full using a dedicated 7.4kW charging point (like those below).
