BMW i3 With 55 kWh Battery Highlighted At Electronica Show … By Linear Technology & LION Smart In a demonstration of what could be possible if certain auto manufacturers were more willing to develop and push electric vehicles, a BMW i3 outfitted with a 55 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack capable of being charged in just a quarter of an hour was showcased at the recent Electronica Show in Munich, Germany. Here’s more from that coverage: “By using Kreisel Electric liquid cooled battery cell modules. … This electric car has an estimated range of 400 km in real world driving. Kreisel Electric battery cell modules show us again what is possible to do today with current battery technology. First we saw the improved Volkswagen e-Golf, now it’s BMW i3 time. A BMW i3 with a realistic 400 km range that can be charged in 15 minutes is immune to range-anxiety.” However this 15 minute charge could likely be an 80% charge and not a full 100% charge.
