fuel consumption drive cycle under electric power alone. Taking the sources

of energy used for generating the electric power consumed into account

(EU electricity mix), this reduces the CO

through a particularly effi cient concept of Brake Energy Regeneration.

Energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells. The car is able to cover

a distance of approximately 50 km/31 miles in the electric mode alone.

Electric power is generated without the slightest increase in fuel consumption
