Thus a compact and cost-effective battery that is capable of high charge and discharge power levels relative to its storage capacity (high C rates) is desirable. As there were no suitable low-cost, compact batteries able to deal with the necessary recharge and discharge cycles involving high currents, MAHLE Powertrain developed its own.

In order to further reduce its CO 2 emissions in this vehicle class, the gasoline engine will require a low-cost, basic hybrid solution. This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Automating the manual transmission, for example with the eClutch.

The i40 48V Hybrid can operate in electric-only mode at low speeds and when cruising. The lead-carbon battery pack recharges itself during deceleration and through regenerative braking, with the BSG working as a generator. Up to 15 kg of gas can be stored in the tank at 200 bar pressure.
