BMW’s fresh ‘eDrive Zone’ work will use geo-fencing technology to comprehend emissions-free zones in metropolitan places and automatically change your plug-in hybrid model’s driving manner to fully electric.

The German automaker is hoping that eDrive Zone will give PHEVs exactly the exact same kind of access rights with fully electric versions, since they will act in exactly the same exact way when entering particular places. All BMW plug-in hybrids will act this way starting.

Make BMW Points

Besides the eDrive Zone function, BMW is also seeking to further excite drivers via the BMW Points program, which motivates PHEV clients to “get the absolute most out of their electric drive. ” What this signifies is the miles you pay while still in EV mode is going to be rewarded with things, as will high-voltage battery charging.

By collecting a large enough number of factors, participants may then get access to rewards like complimentary charging volumes on Charge Now – more rewards will soon be made available later on (Share Now, Park Now).

This system is already trialed by 50 volunteer plug hybrid hybrid drivers in Rotterdam, within a span of 3 months last year.

“We are currently going up a gear in the transformation supporting sustainable freedom,” said BMW CEO Harald Krueger. “By 2021, we will have doubled our earnings of vehicles that are electrified compared to 2019. ”

Last year, the BMW Group sold a total of 142,617 electrified BMWs and Minis. From the conclusion of this year, the automaker expects to achieve an overall total of half a million electrified units.
