  • BMW PHEV Faqs Gear up for Client Questions
    BMW PHEV FAQs Gear Up for Client Questions BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) consist of a powerful electric motor and an efficient combustion engine that work in tandem for ultimate performance. BMW 330e (sDrive and xDrive) BMW 530e (sDrive and xDrive) BMW 745e xDrive BMW X5 xDrive45e BMW X3 30e General Q: Where is my tachometer? A: A simple tachometer could not do the job as we have to take into account the gas engine and the electric motor that run at different speeds. So instead of a tachometer, you’ll see a power meter that shows you how much power you are using at the moment, and how much power you have left. This power meter shows you the combined possible output of the gasoline engine and the electric motor in one gauge. Q: How do the different drive modes work? A: You can determine combinations between “drive modes” (e.g. Sport, Hybrid, Electric) and Battery Control — on the 330e, 530e, 745e and X5 45e to tailor the vehicle’s behavior to your needs. For the X3 30e, the eDrive button switches between Auto e, Max eDrive and SAVE Battery. • Hybrid (default setting): This is the most efficient setting, with both the engine and electric motor working efficiently in tandem. The intelligent operating strategy determines the most efficient drive combination at all times and switches to it automatically. On the X3 30e, a similar mode is called “Auto e” • Electric (all-electric driving mode): The vehicle is powered solely by the electric motor. This mode is designed for comfortable driving with zero local emissions without the engine being started.
