2026 BMW i4 Gets Smarter, Stronger, and Goes Further: What You Need to Know
BMW’s all-electric i4 is getting a major upgrade for the 2026 model year both in terms of performance and efficiency. With a newly refined powertrain, advanced semiconductor technology, and more power at the top end, the updated i4 range is gearing up to offer a smarter, longer, and more exhilarating electric drive. A More Efficient Inverter Means More Range At the heart of this update lies a new generation of inverters that use silicon-carbide (SiC) semiconductor components. Compared to conventional silicon-based inverters, SiC-based inverters can switch at higher frequencies with lower losses, allowing for greater efficiency and thermal stability. This cutting-edge power electronics technology significantly reduces electrical losses in the drivetrain, helping the battery deliver power more efficiently to the...
