Thinking About Sustainability, The German Automaker BMW Will Include In Its Electric Car BMW i3 An Ethanol-Powered Range Extender

The BMW i3, an electric car that has been sold in the country since 2014, will soon receive updates. BMW announced that it is testing a unit of the model that has an ethanol-powered generator. In some versions of the BMW i3, small 650 cc scooter engines powered by gasoline are used to recharge the battery that supplies energy to the electric motor.

The electric car, which currently costs R$ 304,950, with the use of ethanol, will become fully neutral in CO² emissions since the gases released by the exhaust system can be reabsorbed by sugarcane crops.

To install the ethanol conversion, the automaker revealed that it was necessary to make some changes to the engine head and increase the compression ratio, which has also been done in cars that used gasoline engines and became flex. The development of the ethanol-powered BMW i3 was carried out by the automaker in partnership with AVL do Brasil.

The company does not yet have an official date to launch the technology in Brazil and states that there is no chance of presenting the ethanol-powered electric car in the short term, but knows that the setup is almost ready for the streets.

The electric car BMW i3, which has been on sale in Brazil for over 7 years, has an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 7.3 seconds. The vehicle can reach a speed of 150 km/h and its battery allows it to achieve a range of 335 km on the WLTP cycle and 440 km with the optional range extender (using the small engine mentioned before).

More than €600,000 in gold hidden in pots and an “invisible” safe inside an old house turns a small French town into the stage for a discovery that reveals how entire fortunes can remain buried for decades without anyone noticing.

Japan enters the war with the Terra A1 drone priced at $2,000 and turns the math against Putin by taking down swarms of Iranian drones for a fraction of the cost.

Scientists made electrons flow like a frictionless liquid within graphene — the result violated a law of physics that had been in place for over a century by 200 times…

With 635 km, 441 stations, and driverless lines, the Shenzhen metro grows by 30 km per year and becomes a futuristic showcase that costs less than in the West.

Scientists have created a microscopic nanorobot that functions as an invisible cleaner, chasing bacteria with light, transporting microorganisms, and releasing each target at the exact point, in an advancement that could change diagnostics and treatments.
