The BMW i4 is the longest range EV on sale in India with a 590 km WLTP figure in this eDrive40 variant. It is also priced similarly to ICE rivals at Rs 69.90 lakh. The i4 also happens to be real wheel drive, makes 340PS/440 Nm and can do 0 to 100 kmph in 5.7s. The large 80.7 kWh battery can accept up to 205 kW of DC current while the drag-coefficient is a slippery 0.24. With a more common 50 kW DC charger, the BMW i4 can charge for 10 to 80 per cent in 83 minutes. Another interesting stat is that the BMW i4 can regen up to 116kW through its single-pedal B mode. Very few reasons to not choose this just because its an EV, right?
