BMW eDRIVE
NOTES
BMW eDRIVE
The electrical energy partially recharges the
high-voltage battery to increase the range.
Vehicle features and options
▷
The rear electric motor drives the rear
wheels.
This chapter describes model-specific equip-
ment, systems, and functions that are currently
available, or may become available in the fu-
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.
With xDrive, the vehicle features electrical
all-wheel drive. As such, the front wheels
are driven by a second electric motor.

Overview
BMW eDRIVE
Principle
BMW eDRIVE is the designation for the elec-
tric drive technology. The vehicle features a
high-voltage system that consists of an electric
motor on the rear axle and a high-voltage bat-
tery, among other things. With xDrive, a sec-
ond electric motor is located on the front axle.

High-voltage battery
With xDrive: drive unit, front
▷
Vehicle operation is emissions-free using
the electrical drivetrain.
Functions
▷
The special high-voltage battery supplies
the electric motors and the comfort features
with energy.
Electric driving: eDRIVE
The vehicle is driven electrically.
▷
▷
The high-voltage battery is charged via a
charging cable, for instance when parked or
while driving utilizing energy recovery.
The accelerator pedal can be used for acceler-
ation and deceleration.
The vehicle can be charged very rapidly at
special charging stations. Charging is also
possible at domestic socket outlets.
During deceleration, the electric motors act as
alternators and charge the high-voltage bat-
tery. With an anticipatory driving style, this
function can be used for especially efficient en-
ergy recovery and comfortable driving, using
just the accelerator pedal.
▷
▷
On the go, the energy recovery ensures
that only little energy is lost when braking.
When the vehicle decelerates, the electric
motors act as alternators and convert the
kinetic energy released into electric energy.
