Common Questions About the BMW Active E
How far can the 2011 BMW Active E go on a single charge?
The 2011 BMW Active E has an EPA-estimated range of 94 miles. Keep in mind that real-world range varies — highway driving at 70+ mph, cold weather, and using the heater or AC will reduce range. Most owners report getting about 80-90% of the EPA number in mixed driving conditions.
What battery does the 2011 BMW Active E have?
The 2011 BMW Active E comes with a 31 kWh battery pack. It's a compact pack best suited for city driving and shorter commutes.
How long does it take to charge the 2011 BMW Active E at home?
On a Level 2 home charger (240V), the 2011 BMW Active E takes about 5 hours for a full charge from empty. In practice, most people don't charge from completely empty — if you plug in at 30%, you're looking at maybe 4 hours to get back to full. Plugging in overnight works perfectly for most owners. A Level 1 outlet (regular 120V) is much slower — fine for topping off but not practical as your only charging option.
