Reduced emissions and lower petrol consumption, but every inch a driver’s car. A high output BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine and a high efficiency eDrive electric motor are the driving forces behind BMW iPerformance models. Real world usability ensures mains socket compatibility, with the range of a conventional car.
BMW eDrive, the electrical drive component of BMW iPerformance models, delivers maximum driving pleasure almost silently and without local emissions. Three parts form the core of eDrive: the electric motor, the lithium-ion high performance battery and intelligent energy management.
Day-to-day commutes can comfortably be completed using only the electric motor, without any local emissions. And, depending on the situation, the electric motor and petrol engine work together to provide short bursts of acceleration - the eBoost function - for a more dynamic driving experience.
All vehicles with BMW eDrive technology rely on a high-tech lithium-ion battery. It's partnered with a cooling system that keeps it at its optimum operating temperature, increasing its output and service life. Recharging is possible wherever electricity is available; from a 230-volt household socket to dedicated electric car charging points.
Intelligent energy management is one of the main pillars of the BMW eDrive concept. This system coordinates the interaction of all BMW drive components with the electric motor in order to combine the best possible efficiency with great driving dynamics, and to increase the electric range.
