High-voltage battery for plug-in-hybrid models T e plug-in hybrid BMW 330e Saloon and BMW 330e Touring models take electrifi cation a step further, with drive technology comprising a four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor integrated into the eight- speed Steptronic transmission, which together generate a combined system output of 292 hp. T ese latest plug-in-hybrid BMW 3 Series models boast
even greater effi ciency and a considerably longer electric range. T is has been made possible by the switch to a new high-voltage battery with 19.5 kWh of usable energy. T e product of fi fth- generation BMW eDrive technology, it has a much higher energy density than the battery previously fi tted in BMW 3 Series plug-in-hybrid models. T e new BMW Gen5 high-voltage battery represents a
leap forward, bringing an improvement in all the relevant technical statistics. T e high energy density at both cell and battery pack level combines with higher voltages to bring about a major increase in system effi ciency. Although the high-voltage battery’s usable energy has nearly doubled, the amount of space in the interior and load compartment remains unchanged, as does fuel tank capacity.
T ese latest advances in battery technology open up
greater scope for experiencing pure-electric driving pleasure in a BMW 3 Series, with the new BMW 330e Saloon off ering electric range fi gures of 53 – 63 miles, and the new BMW 330e Touring off ering 54 – 61 miles. T is allows drivers to complete not only urban journeys and the daily commute with zero local emissions, but longer trips too. More advanced charging technology is also on hand to
help drivers use all-electric drive power as extensively as possible. T e new charging unit supports three-phase AC charging at up to 11 kW, the fi rst time that such a high rate has been available for a plug-in hybrid from BMW. T is enables the high-voltage battery to be fully recharged from empty in 2 hours 15 minutes.
