Charging can be achieved at up to 11kW on an AC system and up to 195kW on a DC system, with BMW claiming that a 10-minute charge on the latter can add up to 106 miles to the range.
The company says the i7’s charging hardware has been improved over that of the existing CLAR-based i4 and iX EVs, meaning the battery temperature can be “more precisely controlled” and gives insights. faster and more detailed on chargers on a given route via satellite navigation.
BMW says that “a route optimized for charging is calculated as soon as the destination has been entered” if it calculates that the remaining battery life is insufficient for the journey.
The adaptive regenerative brakes have also been improved and can now take into account downhill sections or traffic lights on a planned route, to ensure optimal power regeneration on the fly.
The i7 xDrive60 comes standard with an all-around self-leveling adaptive air suspension, which lowers 10mm in Sport mode and at speeds over 75mph for maximum stability. It can also be raised by 20 mm to overcome large obstacles or rough sections of road.
BMW has yet to provide full details of the electric-powered i7 M70 xDrive top-of-the-line model. However, officials have revealed to Autocar that the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 rival is expected to run a more optimized version of the i7 xDrive.60 a dual electric motor transmission developing 597 hp with “a strong increase in torque”.
