BMW announced the debut of the Concept ActiveE in January 2010 at the Detroit Auto Show. The ActiveE is based on the 1-Series Coupe and features an electric drive system that has an autonomy of 100 miles in everyday use.
The electric drive system generates a total output of 170 hp and a peak torque of 184 lb-ft. The concept goes from 0 to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds, while top speed is limited to 90 mph.
The lithium-ion batteries of the BMW Concept ActiveE have their own liquid cooling system and intelligent battery management system, which are key elements in increasing both the storage capacity and the durability of the battery cells. These systems also ensure that the long range can be maintained largely independent of external climatic conditions. The high storage capacity is the decisive factor in achieving as long a range as possible. The storage system developed for the BMW Concept ActiveE enables a real-world range of about 100 miles on a single charge, depending on conditions (FTP72 cycle range is calculated to be 150 miles in simulation).
