When it comes to the best electric cars in the world, many will name the BMW i3 as it offers the best electrical mileage than other cars. Then again, we feel that consumers are better off with the Tesla Model S and here’s why. Many research shows that the Tesla Model S is about 16% less efficient than the BMW i3 and this is blamed on the weight of the former which is twice heavier than the latter. Even so, the American EV has a huge 265miles driving range which overshadows the BMW i3’s 81mile driving range. On an average monthly mileage for an everyday car, it seems that Model S owners have to spend $8 more on electricity than the BMW i3. Well, this $8 extra is well worth it as owners will get a longer driving range and also a more spacious interior. With that being said, consumers are highly encouraged to opt for the Tesla Model S instead of the BMW i3. The Model S might not be as efficient but consumers will actually be getting more out of their vehicle for a small extra fee of $8.
