WATCH: Interview with BMW i's Jose Guerrero about the 2015 BMW i3 electric sedan

AmericaJR.com's Jason Rzucidlo spoke one-on-one with Jose Guerrero, Product Manager of BMW i U.S.A. The 2015 BMW i3 is known as the world's first mass-produced premium electric vehicle. It features a 22-kWh lithium ion battery that produces a driving range of 80 to 100 miles. The BMW i3 can be recharged in just three hours with a 240-volt power cord or up to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes with a DC fast charge cord. A 34-hp, two-cylinder gasoline range extender is available for an extra charge. That will double the i3's range to between 150 and 190 miles. Three driving modes are available: Comfort, ECO PRO, and ECO PRO+.
