The BMW ActiveE is a concept study of an all-electrical vehicle based on the BMW 1 Series Coupé.
The ActiveE is the second electric vehicle created by the German Group, after the Mini E. Both these cars were developed as part of “Project i”. The BMW concept was developed for a field test of electric vehicles for private and selected fleet users. The purpose is to test the use of electric drive in everyday life.
With a maximum output of 125 kW/170 bhp, the BMW Concept ActiveE features a new specially developed synchronous electric motor, with a maximum torque of 250 Nm / 184 lb-ft which is available from standing.
In terms of performance the concept car has an estimated acceleration from zero to 60 km/h (37mph) in less than 4.5 seconds and from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in less than 9 seconds. The maximum speed is approximately 145km/h and, depending on conditions, it should have a real-world range of about 160km.
The engine is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack developed jointly by BMW and the co-operation partner SB LiMotive especially for the BMW Concept ActiveE. Using flexible charging technology, in Europe the battery can be fully charged at a high-current outlet in little as 3 hours. In North America, the charge time is about 4.5 hours.
