The 4-seater ActiveE coupe is BMW's next vehicle in their EfficientDynamics lineup. It is an all electric BMW 1-series coupe powered by a 125kW electric motor (170hp) with 250Nm of torque. The ActiveE will go 0-60 in approximately 8.5 seconds and has a 100mi range with liquid-cooled LiIon battery pack by BMW and LiMotive.

ActiveE plug/connector

The ActiveE will use the J1772 connector. The prototype they made used the ODU connector used by the MINI-E because when they made it there were no J1772 plugs available. The production vehicles will all use the J1772, I have confirmed it with BMW.
