Electric vehicles are finally starting to inch their way toward the mainstream, with every automaker, including BMW, either providing one, or planning to. The BMW i3 is one of them, but did you know it isn't the first time BMW built an electric car?
In fact, the first electric vehicle from BMW was built 40 years ago, in 1972. It was called the BMW 1602e. As a concept car, it allowed the automaker to experiment with electric vehicle technology of the day, and all that development has led to a model like the BMW i3 here at Tom Williams BMW in Irondale, AL.
