An 81.2kWh battery pack will propel the i5 to up to 516 km of range based on the less conservative WLTP standard. And for charging, BMW is teaming up with Volkswagen’s Electrify America to offer two years of unlimited fast charging up to 30 minutes. The i5 can accept up to 205kW of fast charging, which can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes.
The electric 5 Series will be one of the first to feature BMW’s new hands-free highway driving features. The car can also suggest lane changes, which the driver can confirm just by looking in the exterior mirror. The trademark kidney grille is a little more toned down as compared to the toothsome i7 and iX but still is unabashedly in your face. The grille has become somewhat of a polarizing design choice, especially in the EV era in which airflow is less of a concern, but BMW is not backing down from this signature styling.
