On September 18th, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) slapped the Volkswagen Group with a notice of violation of the Clean Air Act for circumventing EPA emission standards for nitrogen oxides (NOx).
The 2015 BMW i3 has earned the highest-ever score of 65 in greenercars.org’s annual environmental ratings. The i3 missed out on our February 6th release, and a spot on the Greenest list, due to its belated appearance in agency databases. It now appears in the vehicle ratings, along with two other BMW models: the i8 and the i3 REX (range extender). The i8 earns a score of 44 and the range extended i3 (a plug-in hybrid version of the all-electric i3, which has an additional 87 miles of range due to gasoline operation) has a Green Score of 56.
