BMW looks set to up the ante on its all-electric i3 battery pack as new electric vehicle models from various carmakers continue to push the envelope on maximum range.

Website BMW Blog reports that the update will come barely twelve months after the i3’s most recent update, which saw the battery pack upgraded to 94 Ah (ampere hour).

The 94 Ah update brought a new maximum range of 300km (up from 190km). However, an unnamed source reportedly confirmed that the new battery pack will be 120 Ah.

The new battery could be enough to push the maximum range beyond 350km, while also bringing a slight boost to performance.

Currently, the i3 94 Ah’s electric motor is rated at 125kW and 250Nm with a 0-100km/h sprint time of 7.2 seconds.
