BMW i3

Sounds like big cars with better MPG equivalent than most tiny cars. Either that or they're exaggerating a wee bit.

The BMW i3 electric car:

2853 pounds test weight 101" wheelbase 61.9/62 front/rear track width 157" length 70" width 138/111 MPG equivalent

The MB B-Class Electric Drive option:

3935 pounds test weight 106.3" wheelbase 61.6/61 front/rear track width 171.6" length 70.3" width 85/83 MPG equivalent

The Nissan Leaf:

3256 pounds weight 106.3" wheelbase 60.6/60.4 front/rear track width 175" length 69.7" width 126/101 MPG equivalent

The VW Golf electric option:

3400 pounds estimated weight 103.6" estimated wheelbase 61/59.5 estimated front/rear track width 167.5" estimated length 70.5" estimated width 117/94 MPG equivalent .

Well, the range of any one of these four electric cars is less than 100 mil es. The lightweight BMW likely charges faster since it probably has fewer b atteries.

A fuel-cell car, on the other hand, would be expected to have a range of ab out 300 miles. The fuel-cell cars keep getting pushed-back on the calendar but they are on the way. However, southern California is the only location with (say) more than a dozen hydrogen fueling stations .
