Germany's
Manager Magazin is reporting that BMW has plans to introduce a small i2 EV in 2024. It would be BMW's first model based on the
potential new electric platform co-developed with Daimler.
The i2 would be similar in size to the current i3 but it will not feature the i3's carbon fiber body and have approximately a 300km (186 mile) range.
Pricing is reportedly less than 30k euros ($34k USD) and sales could begin in 2024. The joint sales target for the i2 and Daimler's version would be 500,000 cars a year, the magazine says.
The magazine goes on to say that BMW initially wants to develop only one electric model with Daimler.
