BMW.SG | BMW Singapore Owners Community The Ultimate BMW Community – Established Since 2001
BMW unveiled the brand’s first electric vehicle: the 2012 BMW ActiveE. The BMW ActiveE is a conversion car, an electric vehicle based on the body shell of a vehicle with a combustion engine. The BMW ActiveE integrates all electric drive components such as energy storage unit, electric motor and power electronics in a vehicle body that was not originally intended for this purpose – and without compromising on space or comfort in the interior.
The electric drivetrain delivers a 125 kW/170 bhp and maximum torque of 250 Nm, and accelerates from 0 to 62mph (100 km/h) in 9 seconds. The lithium-ion battery unit allows a driving range of 100 miles (160 kilometers) on a full charge. The car can hold four passengers, and has 200 liters of luggage storage.
