BMW of North America will phase out their i3 electric vehicle<\/a> at the end of this month. The global production of the i3 is currently scheduled to run until the end of 2022, but of course, that will vary market by market. BMW’s current marketing efforts go towards the newly unveiled BMW iX electric crossover<\/a> and i4 Gran Coupe electric<\/a>. So it comes as no surprise that the quirky i3’s life comes to an end.<\/p>\n Sales and supply didn’t help its case either. According to InsideEVs<\/a>, BMW of North America sold only 511 units of the i3 electric hatchback in Q2 2021. The total number of i3 models delivered to U.S. customers in 2021 reached 851 units. Cumulatively, BMW sold in the U.S. 44,473 i3 since its market introduction in 2014. Over the last 12 months, the i3 inventory for the U.S. was at its lowest point and customers often had difficulties securing a production slot. Current dealer bulletins suggest that there are only around 180 production slots remaining.<\/p>\n
