BMW 3: Voltage supply

The 12 V vehicle electrical system of the G20 PHEV is essentially the same as the electrical system of the G20. The main difference lies in the fact that the power supply is no longer by the alternator, but by the high-voltage electrical system. The high voltage of the high-voltage battery unit is converted to the lower voltage (approximately 14 V) using a DC/DC converter in the Electrical Machine Electronics (EME). The electric voltage supply of the 12 V vehicle electrical system is thus no longer dependent on the engine speed of the combustion engine when driving.

Another difference is that the starter motor and auxiliary battery form an independent 12 V vehicle electrical system, which is connected to the standard 12 V vehicle electrical system by the charging unit for the auxiliary battery (Battery Charge Unit (BCU) ).
