High demand: Orders for the new i3 with a longer range battery, have gone through the roof.

FRANKFURT: BMW has recorded rising sales of the latest version of its electric car, the i3, following the Berlin government's push to subsidise electric cars, weekly German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS) said.

Citing company sources, FAS said that orders for the new i3 with a longer range battery, for deliveries from mid-July onwards, had risen "many times over" levels following the introduction of the car's initial version in 2013.
