Re: [EVDL] Electric B-class car
Well put me in detention for not paying attention. Thanks, as always, for the enlightenment. They certainly aren't trumpeting the car though.

Juiced Up: BMW’s i Lineup Will Go Fully Electric

BMW’s i models have sold in fewer numbers than anticipated, but the fully
electric i3 and the i8 plug-in hybrid have at least paved the way for a new
generation of electrics from BMW, and they have served as technology trials
for a number of mainstream models. Using those metrics, the i brand has been
deemed a success for BMW, and the company is committed to move it forward
with a new generation of fully electric vehicles.
Right now, BMW is working on three new models: replacements for the i3 and
the i8 and a four-door sedan slotted between them. That car has been
confirmed by BMW as the iNext.
Fun to drive is high on the agenda for the iNext. It will feature a fully
electric powertrain that could make a lot of power ... What’s also decided
is that there won’t be a plug-in-hybrid version of the iNext. “By the time
it launches, range won’t be a problem,” we were told.
The iNext sedan will be a stand-alone model with a unique design, but it
won’t be as far removed from BMW’s other models as are the i3 and the i8.
The brand is looking to achieve significant economies of scale by sharing
technology with BMW’s conventionally powered sedans.
The iNext also will be available with cutting-edge autonomous-driving
technology—a key point of development for the division moving forward. BMW
is committed to offering a comprehensive package of self-driving features;
how much of that will be possible to use depends on the legal environment.
The car will come to market by 2021 or 2022, and subsequent years will see
the i3 and the i8 replaced. Details on those remain scarce largely because
many of the key decisions have yet to be made.
For the next i3, though, BMW may decide not to use an expensive carbon-fiber
structure as in the current model; the car likely also will look sportier
and less ungainly. Power may increase to around 200 horsepower, and the
range-extender option is sure to be dropped.
Meanwhile, the i8—currently a plug-in hybrid that BMW misleadingly touts as
an “electric” on its website—is likely to lose its hybrid powertrain and
become a fully electron-fueled machine. With power ratings that should
exceed 500 horsepower, it is poised to take a leading role in the segment of
fully electric supercars. And with that much power, it might actually morph
into a credible successor to the famous M1 supercar.

[EVDL] Brexit save$= drops combo EU requirement> CHAdeMO rules in the UK
http://insideevs.com/ccs-no-longer-required-in-uk-due-to-brexit/ CCS No Longer Required In UK Due To Brexit? 20160813 Mark Kane [images http://insideevs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/D301222-750x542.jpg CCS (Combined Charging System) – single inlet for AC charging and fast DC charging http://insideevs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/9660a130df50b286_org-350x234.jpg Chargemaster Ultracharger and BMW i3 http://insideevs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/wpid-wp-1410230496026-350x262.jpeg Nissan LEAF CHAdeMO Port ] Shortly after the Brexit (UK departure from EU), Autocar published an article suggesting that the decision could influence the adoption of electric vehicle charging standards in the country. As an EU member, the UK was obligated to implement a directive that requires public DC fast chargers to use CCS Combo standard from 2018 (other plugs like CHAdeMO would be then just an option). But in UK, more than half of all plug-in electric cars are specifically CHAdeMO-users (over 20,000 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs alone, and some 14,000 Nissan LEAFs/e-NV200s). Another 10% falls on Renault ZOE (using AC 3-phase Type 2) and the Tesla Model S (dedicated fast charging standard), while only a fraction of the remaining 35-40% of cars are equipped with CCS Combo inlet. It is a hot topic because CCS Combo is heavily backed by German manufacturers, and Germany sets tough conditions for the UK after Brexit. Some voices in UK say that it’s time to drop the CCS requirement so that the market is able to develop freely. “An EU directive that will standardise rapid-charging EV points in favour of a design that is not common in the UK is set to be an early casualty of the Brexit vote. Due to be written into UK law this October, the directive has attracted criticism from both the EV industry and UK government and is likely to be quietly shelved as unnecessary.” “The directive makes the Combined Charging System (CCS) plug – a design adopted largely by German car makers – a legal requirement for any publicly available rapid charger.” It’s pretty interesting that Chargemaster is among those who would like to see CCS dropped – the company offers multi-standard chargers, and also recently got an investment from the BMW i Ventures Gourp (which is a CCS supporter). “This is a piece of bureaucracy that this industry, which is still in its infancy, doesn’t need,” said David Martell, boss of Chargemaster, which makes and supplies EV chargers from its Luton-based and factory. “It doesn’t make any point and we want to see it dropped.” “People could have ended up in prison just for not having the right plug on a public charger,”. “There’s no legislation that says an iPhone or whatever should have a certain type of plug, so why is that necessary for an EV? It doesn’t make sense.” [© 2016 Inside EVs] [dated] http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/standardised-ev-fast-chargers-be-dropped-after-brexit Standardised EV fast chargers to be dropped after Brexit 6 July 2016 Julian Rendell 'Irrelevant' charger design was to be used for all EV fast chargers across the EU, but the UK will now be free to adopt a more market-friendly design An EU directive that will standardise rapid-charging EV points in favour of a design that is not common in the UK is set to be an early casualty of the Brexit vote. Due to be written into UK law this October, the directive has attracted criticism from both the EV industry and UK government and is likely to be quietly shelved as unnecessary. "This is a piece of bureaucracy that this industry, which is still in its infancy, doesn’t need," said David Martell, boss of Chargemaster, which makes and supplies EV chargers from its Luton-based and factory. "It doesn’t make any point and we want to see it dropped." The new EU law, which is known as the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure directive, has been in discussion since at least 2014 and was intended to force member states to establish an EU-wide EV charging network, along with facilities for ... But with no funding to back it, the directive attracted little support from member states, Autocar has been told. The directive makes the Combined Charging System (CCS) plug – a design adopted largely by German car makers – a legal requirement for any publicly available rapid charger. However, the UK has a large fleet of Nissan Leaf and Renault EVs, which each use different rapid-charging plugs, so the directive is seen as irrelevant to the UK's EV market. Nissan uses the Japanese Chademo standard for DC fast-charging. "People could have ended up in prison just for not having the right plug on a public charger," added Martell. "There’s no legislation that says an iPhone or whatever should have a certain type of plug, so why is that necessary for an EV? It doesn’t make sense." Chargemaster is poised to announce an expansion of the number of 50kW rapid chargers it has available in its 4000-strong Polar network and hopes a partnership
