That’s provided that the battery is still sufficiently charged, of course.
The system already works in seven cities in Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp, Mons, Bruges, Grand, Hasselt, and Liège) and since Friday, 24 September also in Luxembourg City.
The current BMW models from series 3, 5, and 7, as well as the X3 and the X5 models all support this new eDrive system, provided that they are equipped with the latest software.
The BMW Group Benelux thus joins the Stroum beweegt (“electricity moves”) initiative, which aims at promoting e-mobility in Luxembourg.
On Friday morning, RTL.lu journalist Andy Brücker could see for himself that the new system works, in his case in the area around Kirchberg. Almost precisely at the level of the Serra roundabout, the BMW detects that it is entering or leaving the grounds of Luxembourg City. Inside the car, a notification pops up on the central display in addition to a map of the area marked as an eDrive zone.
