#Activee

It’s a fate we wouldn’t wish on any vehicle, but the BMW ActiveE cars are heading to the crusher.

Translated into english, Russians call their space explorers “cosmonauts.” Today, the world learned that Germans – or at least BMW – call people who drive ActiveE vehicles “Electronauts.”

Despite its limited involvement with EVs so far, BMW is reaffirming its commitment to electric cars by investing in Coulomb Technologies: a company that controls the world’s largest online charging network.

One of the world’s best-known BMW specialists, Turner Motorsport has announced its latest undertaking: an ActiveE project car.

Ahead of the Geneva show, BMW has unveiled their first electric vehicle, the ActiveE: a 1-Series coupe that’s good for 170 horsepower, 184 pound-feet of torque, and 100 miles on a single charge.

BMW introduced its 1-Series Coupe-based Active E electric vehicle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

BMW will introduce a new electric concept model based on the 1 Series Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show.
