"It turns out that the new iX3, which packs 400 miles of range, some next-level charging speeds, impressive performance and a leap ahead in technology from past electric BMWs, will start around $60,000 in the United States. Granted, that's not exactly cheap. But it's also not mind-bogglingly expensive. In fact, it's pretty comparable to a nicely equipped gas-powered BMW X3, but with some of the best specs we've seen so far from any modern EV."
"An EV that's priced well, packed with great specs, and can stand on its own in the marketplace without needing tax credits and subsidies to make a case for itself? I think so, and I'm excited for more EVs like this in the years to come. But the iX3 launches at a tough time in America. Just this week, President Donald Trump finished the work of gutting fuel economy regulations, which means gas-car drivers will pay more at the pump"
The new BMW iX3 offers about 400 miles of range, very fast charging via an 800-volt system, impressive performance, and advanced technology improvements over previous electric BMWs. The U.S. starting price is around $60,000, making it comparable to a well-equipped gas-powered BMW X3 and close to cost parity without relying on tax credits. Positive driving impressions and reviews highlight BMW's significant leap in EV capability. The iX3 arrives as U.S. fuel-economy rules are being rolled back, a change that could increase pump prices and reduce automaker incentives to electrify fleets by the 2030s. Harbinger Motors' cofounder and CEO warns about the future of commercial EVs and common industry missteps.
