BMW revealed the new i3 today, which is based on its latest Neue Klasse platform. It’s not only a truly modern software-defined vehicle, but also a sedan in a world of SUVs.

I love its traditional sedan proportions. It looks neat from most angles, although I’m still getting used to the busy nose, which has become a signature of the Neue Klasse models.

For the full lowdown on the i3’s range, charging speeds, features and stateside availability, you can watch Tim Levin’s latest video with the car, or read our top story today.

Here’s what else is on the menu:

  • The Rivian R2 has a secret feature hiding underneath which helps with cost cutting.

  • Automakers have been culling uncompetitive EVs. But the best ones are still going strong at good prices.

  • A lot of reasonably priced EVs can help you sidestep soaring gas prices.
