Free Shipping
Decor Outdoor offers free regular shipping on all orders shipped to residential or commercial addresses within the contiguous United States. Orders are delivered Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).Drop Shipping
We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
The 2015 BMW i3 is an electric vehicle with a unique design and features. It does not have a traditional transmission or transaxle like conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Instead, the BMW i3 utilizes a single-speed transmission combined with a reduction gearbox and an electric motor.
Key features of the 2015 BMW i3’s drivetrain include:
- Electric Motor:
- The i3 is equipped with an electric motor that generates power to drive the vehicle. The electric motor provides instant torque, contributing to the i3’s responsive and efficient performance.
- Single-Speed Transmission:
- Unlike traditional vehicles with multi-speed transmissions, the BMW i3 features a single-speed transmission. This is because electric motors deliver power more efficiently across a wide range of speeds, eliminating the need for multiple gears.
- Reduction Gearbox:
- The i3 includes a reduction gearbox, which adapts the high-speed rotation of the electric motor to the slower rotation needed for the wheels. This helps optimize the power delivery for driving conditions.
- Battery Technology:
- The i3’s power is sourced from a high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack. The electric motor is powered by this battery, and the vehicle operates entirely on electric power.
- Regenerative Braking:
- The i3 employs regenerative braking, which converts kinetic energy back into electrical energy during deceleration. This feature enhances energy efficiency and contributes to the vehicle’s extended range.
It’s important to note that electric vehicles, including the BMW i3, have a different drivetrain architecture compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The focus is on maximizing energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and providing a unique driving experience with instantaneous torque delivery.
