BMW 3: Climate Control
As in previous BMW hybrid vehicles, an electrically powered air conditioning
compressor is used in
the G20 PHEV. Because the A/C compressor has an electric motor, it is possible
to operate the air
conditioning independently of the combustion engine. Thus the customer can enjoy
the cooling effect
of the air conditioning even while driving in pure electric mode and while
stopped.
The high-voltage battery unit is cooled by the vehicle's refrigerant's circuit.
The stationary climate control is also available in the G20 PHEV.

With a sufficient state of charge of the high-voltage battery unit,
all-electric driving of the vehicle with
maximum power of the electric drive is possible for up to 41 miles (66 km). The
maximum speed in this
case is 87 mph (140 km/h).
