According to 2019 estimates by the EPA and US Department of Energy. Range attainable when fully charged. (https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=41054&id=41212)

Range added per hour is from Energy.gov (www.energy.gov/eere/electricvehicles/vehicle-charging). A colder ambient temperature can make it take slightly longer to charge, particularly when using a rapid charger. Colder temperatures also mean vehicles are less efficient, so less miles are added per time charging.

BMW AG test results. Actual acceleration results may vary, depending on specification of vehicle; road and environmental conditions; testing procedures and driving style.

The average U.S. resident drives 13,476 miles per year (www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm)and spends about $1,262 on gasoline. In comparison, the cost of electricity to power the BMW i3 is less than half that. Over the six-year average length of car ownership, that's about $4,446 in gasoline savings.
We've assumed a fuel economy of 30 mpg (source: www. fueleconomy.gov/) for a comparable gasoline powered sedan. For example, the 2018 BMW 3 Series and $2.81 per gallon average for all grades of gasoline (www.eia.gov): 13,476 miles / 30 miles/gallon = 449 gallons/year. 449 gallons * $2.81/gallon = $1,262 for gasoline per year or $7,572 for gasoline in six years.
We've assumed a combined electricity consumption of 30 kwH per 100 miles (source:www.fueleconomy.gov/) for the BMW i3 and the 2018 U.S. average of $0.1289 per kwH for electricity (www.eia.gov/): 13,476 miles / 100 * 30 kwH = 4,043 kwH/year. 4,043 kwH * $0.1289/kwH = $521 for electricity per year or $3,126 for electricity in six years.
