Bill Plant Driving School is proud to announce the addition of the fully sustainable BMW i3 to their fleet of driving instructor vehicles. The BMW i3 is a game-changer in terms of environmental impact, low emissions, fuel efficiency, comfort and driving experience.
Offering both a 22kWh lithium-ion battery and 9 litre Range Extender petrol tank, you can travel for over 150 miles before needing to either recharge or refuel. On electric power, the BMW i3 delivers up to 470mpg. Tom Haire, Bill Plant Driving School Head of Development, is already saving over £300 per month in fuel costs. Up to 95% of the BMW i3 is recyclable.
On its launch, the BMW i3 won numerous international awards* and rave reviews. Auto Car stated that “in terms of quality – and by that, we mean both attention to detail and driving experience – the i3 is in another league”.
Bill Plant Driving Instructor Ian Fox is one of the first instructors to teach in a new BMW i3. Ian says; “Once you open the door and look inside, the magic begins. The seats are comfortable and your seating position is much higher (than a conventional saloon vehicle).
After 5 hours in the passenger seat the ride is still comfortable. The power available is immense. For me personally it is total fun to drive. The power is converted to electricity the instant that you come off the accelerator. It encourages forward planning in your driving which is exactly what we are always trying to achieve with our pupils. Therefore, it could have been designed with learners in mind! This car is a great car for a driving instructor”.
