FORWARD-LOOKING MOBILITY THANKS TO BMW eDRIVE.
The drive concept BMW eDrive boasts impressive dynamics. With its combination of electric motor, lithium-ion high-performance battery and intelligent energy management it provides an inspiringly agile driving experience and breathtaking acceleration. And when driven purely electrically, it is locally emission-free.
Electric motor
The electric motor is an innovative development of the BMW Group and an integral constituent of all electrically powered BMW models. With the battery fully charged, it provides the BMW 7 Series iPerformance, for example, with a maximum range of 48 kilometres in purely electrical driving mode. This means it will be possible to cover most everyday distances without local emissions. Depending on requirements, the electric motor can also be used to achieve particularly powerful short bursts of acceleration – such as when overtaking.
Lithium-ion high-performance battery
All vehicles with BMW eDrive technology obtain their energy for electric driving from a high-tech electricity storage device. The lithium-ion high-performance batteries are combined with a cooling system that constantly keeps the battery at optimum operating temperature, thus increasing output and service life. Recharging is possible wherever electricity is available. Conventional household sockets can be sufficient.
Intelligent energy management
Best possible efficiency and performance that’s always available – intelligent energy management’s core task is to guarantee both of these. It also controls further functions from BMW EfficientDynamics that are specially coordinated for drivetrains with a synchronous electric motor.
Intelligent energy management optimizes the effectiveness of the electric drivetrain and the high-performance battery with a predictive operating strategy. Navigation data is used to calculate the optimum time to start driving electrically or charging the battery, in advance, depending on the most suitable route and driving situation. This saves up to ten per cent of energy – which allows the driver to cover a greater distance completely electrically. Brake Energy Regeneration ensures that kinetic energy released when braking or slowing down is saved in the lithium-ion high-performance battery, where it’s available at any time to increase the overall performance. With the ECO PRO mode, a press of a button is all it takes to gear all vehicle systems towards efficiency – and make intelligent use of energy reserves. In order to do this, intelligent energy management reduces the comfort functions according to the driver’s needs. In addition, the driver receives tips for particularly efficient driving via the Control Display, to help increase the maximum range.

BMW iPERFORMANCE MODELS
BMW 330e iPerformance Sedan.
A powerful 135 kW (184 hp) BMW TwinPower four-cylinder petrol engine works in conjunction with a strong electric motor delivering 65 kW (88 hp). Combined CO2 emissions are between 49 and 44 g/km, while fuel consumption ranges from 2.1 to 1.9 l/100 km.
BMW 530e iPerformance Sedan.
The drive's core components include a 135 kW (184 hp) 4-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, a 185 kW (252 hp) electric motor and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 9.2 kWh. When running on electricity alone, the vehicle has a range of around 50 km and an electric top speed of 140 km/h.
BMW 7 Series iPerformance models.
The BMW iPerformance models 740e and 740Le xDrive are driven by a powerful 258 hp BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder petrol engine in combination with a highly efficient eDrive electric motor.
BMW X5 xDrive45e iPerformance.
The BMW X5 xDrive45e iPerformance appears ambitious and pioneering in every respect. Despite its 290 kW (394 hp) of power, combined CO2 emissions are only 78 to 77 g/km. Fuel consumption is only 3.4 to 3.3 l/100 km.
Home charging
Electric vehicles have many advantages over their conventional counterparts – one of them is having a “full tank” every morning. This is because they can be easily and conveniently charged at home with the standard charging cable supplied. The process is even quicker and more convenient with the BMW i Charging Station: This charging station for installation on your house wall increases the charging output, thus reducing the charging time, and ideally complements the design of BMW vehicles.
Public charging
ChargeNow offers access to the public charging stations. The CHARGE NOW card permits access and use. At the end of the month, you receive a statement with a clear overview of all your charging operations using the CHARGE NOW card. Thanks to BMW i ConnectedDrive, all available charging stations are displayed by the BMW i ConnectedDrive services for navigation.
Charging status
With the BMW Connected App, you can conveniently monitor the charging operation in real time via your smartphone. In addition, the electric driving range and battery charging status of your BMW can be also be viewed at any time. Remote control can be used to schedule charging operations via the weekly timer and to activate the climate control in preparation for a journey.
