BMW 3: Introduction
Although the high-voltage battery unit of the G20 PHEV can also be partially
charged by energy
recovery via the electrical machine, the "normal" charging procedure takes place
when the G20 PHEV
is connected to the AC voltage network of the local power supply company. Energy
is taken from the
alternating current voltage network and fed to the direct current voltage
high-voltage electrical system.
To allow this to happen, the G20 PHEV can be connected to an AC charge station
or charged via the
charging cable.
The charging procedure is never carried out with the maximum possible charge
current. At the start,
charging takes place with constant current. Switchover to constant voltage takes
place towards
the end. The actual charging time is increased as a result, and the service life
of the battery cells is
extended.
If the G20 PHEV is connected to an AC charging station, the maximum possible
charging power of
approximately 3.7 kW is also available (provided the AC charging station is
designed for this).
