Meanwhile, emissions of CO2, 99 grs / km.

Plug-In. To improve the efficiency or operational costs were cheap, BMW engineered this car as a hybrid plug-ins. Lithium polymer battery cells used directly were plugged into a power outlet in Europe's house using electricity to standard voltage 220 volts. With these voltage and charging current 16 amperes, the time required to recharge the battery was only 2.5 hours. Furthermore, when using a voltage of 380 volts, 32 amperes, the charging battery only took 44 minutes. How Quite interesting!
