Those are decent numbers but they are down on 540L/1600L X1 because of the battery pack and electric motor underneath. It is powered by an electrically excited synchronous e-motor on each axle that combine to produce 230kW and 494Nm. At its most efficient, BMW says the iX1 can recharge its battery from 10-80 per cent in 29 minutes.

In the quest to improve efficiency even more, the focus tends to be on the flashier parts of the drivetrain, like the motor (which certainly deserves it) and inverter (which arguably doesn’t, since efficiency is typically already ~99 %), while scant attention is paid to relatively unsexy things like charging cables and auxiliary/parasitic loads.
