BMW eDRIVE
Concept
This BMW is a hybrid vehicle. In addition to the
combustion engine, the vehicle features a high-
voltage hybrid system that consists of an electric
motor and a high-voltage battery among other
things.
The hybrid system can move the vehicle entirely
on battery power. It can also support the com‐
bustion engine in certain situations.
General information
The vehicle does not consume any fuel while
running on battery power. This enables environ‐
mentally friendly driving without emissions in cer‐
tain conditions, for example, in city traffic.
During driving with the combustion engine, the
hybrid system helps to lower fuel consumption.
The electric motor is switched on to support this,
if required by the situation.
In addition to this, the electric motor acts as an
alternator: during braking and coasting, the elec‐
tric motor converts the vehicle's kinetic energy
into electrical energy. The electrical energy is
stored in the high-voltage battery and is used to
drive the electric motor.
The high-voltage battery can be charged via the
charging socket at charging stations or house‐
hold sockets.
