In only a few months, BimmerToday.de reports the BMW i3 might get a bump in battery cell density to 120 Ah. This isn't the first time the i3 has received an upgrade to the battery pack, in 2016 it got bumped from 60 Ah to the 94 Ah it currently resides which upgraded the 22 kWh battery pack to 33 kWh. This latest upgrade will bring the battery pack capacity up to aproximately 42 kWh if the testing is sucessful. It is stated this would provide a 350 km NEDC range, although that drive cycle is out dated and even so it translates to about 217 miles. The WLTP drive cycle is the latest so a more accurate representation of the range will most likely be around 150 miles.
