3.1 is impressive, is that figure since factory, or just on one journey?
3.1 is impressive, is that figure since factory, or just on one journey?Ok, so I have an ix 40, just covered 1,000 miles and here in the Uk thing are still pretty chilly, but have managed to get 3.1m/kw out of the car so far
The figure was range and data for the charge, a few journeys, 2 of which were 80-90 miles each..3.1 is impressive, is that figure since factory, or just on one journey?
I think you would struggle to get to 3.7 my i3S overall average is 3.8 (its 1000kg lighter), my iX (50) is running at 2.5 for the first 1300 miles - short runs very heavy on the electrons typically 1.6 for a 10 mile journey not helped by the terrain where I live quite a few 1 in 4 hills. The i3S gets to 3 miles/kWh after about 10 miles. Preconditioning didn't seem to make much of a difference.… hoping as it warms up I’ll get the 3.7 to achieve that 260 mile range….
Are you using the maximum regeneration mode ('B' rather than 'D')? Ive been told by my dealer that this can have a dramatic improvement on range
Just to back up what @Jamezola said, the 'D' option will 'coast' (BMW call it efficient coasting), so if you lift the accelerator then no power is applied, in 'B' mode then then the engine will slow to regenerate energy, no good on the open road. I find the 'adaptive' setting in D' the best, it sort of swaps between 'D' and 'B' depending on what you are doing....B is good for town driving, single pedal driving and big regeneration. D is better on fast roads imo, as auto adaption is really slick, however when in b mode on faster roads the brake lights are a bit more sensitive and can be unnecessary alarming to people behind.
Firstly, congratulations. Once you get some idea, would you please share the figures with us?I only picked mine up today, so have no real world figures yet - I was just going on what the dealer mentioned during the hand-over this morning!
I have a 50 and have set D mode with max regen which for the roads where I live lots of hills is great the adaptive is fine in traffic but I don't see much and in adaptive the car coasts when it doesnt see other vehicles and will accelearte itself to 70+ down hills. My from factory is 2.4 miles/kWh 7/12/2021 and from the dealer 31/12/2021 2.5 if I see an overall of 2.7 I'll be happy most of my journeys to date have been 10-15 miles (+ 1 at 400 miles) and never pre conditioned.That’s a good question. I have been almost exclusively using the ‘D’ mode. I find it such a pleasure to drive, and its automatic adaptation is amazing. The ‘B’ mode is probably quite clever too, but I find it makes for a clunkier drive.
Out of curiosity to all others posting their efficiency above, which modes are you using?
Actually per spec for the 4.0 that should be 22.5 – 19.4 kWh/100 km which is 4.3 to 5.1 km/KWh I believe. The 5.0 is similar. I have not been able to get close to that in the wintertime. I agree the battery conditioning plays a role there. Interesting to see how this evolves. Yet my model X, even in winter time, averages at 23 kWh/100km, which would make me conclude the Tesla has better power management. Perhaps the tires play a role, tire pressure is prety low on the iX.I have been driving ix50 and total milage is around 1400 miles. Factory average is 3.6 km/kWh, around 2,24 miles/kWh
Not much long drives, only 15-20 minutes driving each time, city and highway mixed.
21 inch winter tyres and weather is between 0-10 degrees.
I just did a road trip driving mainly in B mode and got 3.2 miles per kwh outgoing cruising at 70 where possible and 3.6 miles per kwh on the return at a slightly more sedate 62mph. Both trips were 15 to 18 degrees C and dry days. I am really impressed by this in my iX40 for such a big heavy car!Ok, so I have an ix 40, just covered 1,000 miles and here in the Uk thing are still pretty chilly, but have managed to get 3.1m/kw out of the car so far providing a range circa 220miles.. trying to drive sensibly and sticking to 70 on the motorway, wondering if anyone else is keeping and eye on their metrics and what they are getting… hoping as it warms up I’ll get the 3.7 to achieve that 260 mile range….
That’s really decent. Things have improved as the weather has warmed up and now getting 220-240 miles per charge.I just did a road trip driving mainly in B mode and got 3.2 miles per kwh outgoing cruising at 70 where possible and 3.6 miles per kwh on the return at a slightly more sedate 62mph.
