I do not work in the field of sustainable development. Nor am I a fanatic about “soft” mobility – non-motorized forms of transport. I am a keen outdoor sportsman and a lover of our mountains, which I visit by mountain bike, as a rock-climber, on foot or on skis – all altitudes.
As someone more comfortable in the outdoors than in the city, a connoisseur of silence, but also of high performance, I have always been interested in whether mobility could be both non-invasive and efficient.
I had to wait until I was approaching my fiftieth year before the auto industry got to a certain (preliminary) level of maturity in this field, which is when I decided to give it a try.
What follows are my experiences as a driver of what I consider to be the first mass-produced “durable” vehicle worthy of its name on the market, the BMW i3.
