The electric motor in the BMW i8 is a synchronous motor that is powered by a lithium-ion battery. This motor can produce up to 129 horsepower and can reach a top speed of 75 mph in electric-only mode. It works in tandem with the gasoline engine to provide a combined power output of 369 horsepower.

The electric motor is connected to the front wheels of the BMW i8 and works as a generator when braking, converting kinetic energy into electricity to be stored in the battery. It also provides additional power during acceleration, making the car more efficient and responsive.
