The online shopping giant Amazon is going to start selling electric cars. The Japanese division of German auto giant BMW on Wednesday started selling its i3 electric models on Amazon.co.jp.
The high-end automaker’s small electric vehicle has been popular in European and North American markets, but BMW Japan wants to expand its clientele through the online retailer, a spokesman said in Tokyo.
Two i3 models are offered on Amazon.co.jp, a regular BMW i3 with a 229-km range, and the i3 Range Extender that runs up to 300 km on one battery charge.
