Haha, love it.I just want to get near 200miles, not 120 when I drive it like Miss Daisy.
I agree. A lot miles disappears if you make multiple trips (probably climate heating every time).I just want to get near 200miles, not 120 when I drive it like Miss Daisy.
Does your e-tron claim to do 260 miles per charge ?As someone who is moving from an Audi E-tron I'm going to be more than happy with a range about 180-200 in the cold. Currently my commute is about 6miles each way and at full charge this morning my car reads 140miles a drop from 180 during warmer temps. The battery is about the same size as the iX40 so there's a massive efficiency difference between them, you'll find that a lot of car makers have the same issue, the other option is to pay extra for the bigger battery that you may only need a couple of months each. Up to you which makes the most sense and is affordable
So if you read Vinomovers 2nd post, he too would be happy with up to 200 miles instead of the 120 miles he’s currently getting whilst driving like granny.It's a 50quattro with 71kwh battery claimed for 200 miles, 2019 model with about 300bhp so similar to the iX40 in spec but poor efficiency. Best range I've gotten from it is 219 on a long drive but doing it as efficiently as possible. Average about 2.7mi/kWh over 20,000 miles so far
I'm topping out at 60mph to be able to get 140miles which I agree isn't good or safe for motorways. If I drive at a normal speed I get less probably down to the 90-100mile range in cold weather. But I'm extrapolating up for myself on the hypothetical that I should get an extra 50miles range in the iX40.So if you read Vinomovers 2nd post, he too would be happy with up to 200 miles instead of the 120 miles he’s currently getting whilst driving like granny.
Well I’m glad you’re happy to accept more than 50% reduction in promised range.I'm topping out at 60mph to be able to get 140miles which I agree isn't good or safe for motorways.

I'm also pointing out that this isn't just a BMW problem, Audi are supposed to be a premium car brand and you would imagine they would provide reliable data on their car but that's not the case with any electric cars as there's always the caveat of real world range will change based on driving conditions.
If someone wants to have 200miles range in the cold then unfortunately they have to accept either they alter their driving style or they get a car with more battery power. Until the battery tech gets improved this is going to be an issue and unfortunately people moving from ICE to EV are not going to like it, I didn't like it when I first moved but you adapt.
You'll find that manufacturers are not promising you anything typically they state range as "up to" so they never promised 250miles.Well I’m glad you’re happy to accept more than 50% reduction in promised range.
I didn’t spend £90 Grand on a luxury car thinking I would be driving well under the speed limits in eco modes, hoping the wind is behind me and wearing arctic weather gear to avoid using the heater.
Strange how manufacturers do not know the true capabilities of their batteries but their customers do !
Would have loved to gotten an IX50 but in the UK a decent spec'd car is £115k = $140k. Much cheaper in the US..Should have gotten an iX 50 then if you wanted more range, mine is getting me 250-280 miles in the winter right now 🤷🏻
I would have done if bmw had informed me that I would be getting up to 150 miles instead of the “Up To” 267 miles.Should have gotten an iX 50 then if you wanted more range, mine is getting me 250-280 miles in the winter right now 🤷🏻
EVs are not a new thing, virtually every EV for the last 10 years loses approx 20% of advertised range in the winter. My iX is much better than my Tesla was in the winter. Unless you lived under a rock for the last decade, can’t imagine what else you expected in the winter on short commutes?I would have done if bmw had informed me that I would be getting up to 150 miles instead of the “Up To” 267 miles.
