I think many people expect it will not have a low CoB because it's a relatively tall, boxy car. But they don't realize the heaviest part of the car, the battery pack it at and even a little below the axle line. The top of the car is all CFRP and plastic.
The chief technician at an i3 preview event I attended in Atlanta told us during his little "tech talk" before we went out to drive them.

Oh, and we want one too.
