These are the words of Peter Wolf (responsible for vehicle launches at BMW HDG ) collected by our Australian colleagues Motoring . If one believes the German official , the X5 eDrive Plug in Hybrid expected to begin production by 2015 and very close to that presented at the last Geneva Motor definition . We would have to make a motorized X5 by a 2.0 L L4 Twin Power Turbo heat associated with an electric motor powered by rechargeable batteries via a household socket or terminal .
This version promises in theory and bench limited to 3.8 L/100 km combined fuel consumption and a range of about 30 km in all-electric mode. According R.Wolf , services R & D BMW actively working on this project and the batteries for this type of engine is expected in the medium term include almost the entire BMW range to offer a Plug in Hybrid car each BMW customer if requested .
