THE RANGE OF BMW ELECTRIC CARS AND PLUG-IN HYBRIDS.
Uncompromising range comfort.
Freedom means unlimited mobility. Increasingly powerful, high-voltage batteries now make electric vehicles more than suitable as daily drivers for any lifestyle. And thanks to the continuously growing public charging network from BMW Charging, you’ll have access to charging points from a wide range of operators in various cities when you're on the road – and, as a driver of a BMW electric vehicle, you’ll also have exclusive access to high-power charging stations along the motorways, such as those of our partner IONITY in Europe. Discover the world of comfortable electric driving with BMW electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

COMMUTING WITH YOUR BMW PLUG-IN HYBRID!
On the previous evening, you connected your BMW 5 Series Sedan 530e plug-in hybrid with the BMW Wallbox to charge up and set the precise time at which you want to take off to work. Thanks to the “preconditioning” process, your domestic mains electricity is used to adjust the temperature of the interior and the battery while the vehicle is still charging from your BMW Wallbox. This means your vehicle is ideally prepared for the journey, and you have its full range at your disposal. While you are at work, you can conveniently find a public charging station in the vicinity with the digital services from BMW Charging or use the AC charging option with the BMW charging cable provided by your employer. From time to time, you can check the charging and vehicle status of your plug-in hybrid at any time via the My BMW App. Back at home at the end of the working day, you simply reconnect your BMW 530e Sedan to the BMW Wallbox and enjoy the rest of the evening – while looking forward to that next locally emission-free trip to work.

Why do the ranges vary?
The respective range of an electric vehicle depends on various factors such as driving style, route conditions, vehicle equipment, weather conditions and payload.
In detail
High average speeds (highway) reduce the range most significantly, while inner-city traffic leads to a higher range due to lower speed and higher recuperation shares (in contrast to vehicles with internal combustion engines). Furthermore, the range is reduced at low temperatures due to heating, and high temperatures with strong air conditioning. Regarding the special features/equipment, the selection of larger tire combinations generally reduces the range (if the aerodynamic disadvantage is not compensated for by a more closed wheel design). The rolling resistance class of tires is also relevant for the range: e.g. the use of a winter tire reduces the range compared to a Label A summer tire.
General range specification and range values in this indicator
In the model selection, the communicated range is based on the WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light-Duty Test Procedure) cycle.
WLTP enables a calculation of the range under prescribed driving conditions. WLTP assumes a defensive driving style with a route mix of city streets, country roads and highways.
The range indicator enables you to estimate the range under your typical driving conditions. The outer circle represents the calculated range value based on linear distances (not the actual street map), while the inner circle shows the calculated value -30% to take the real-life routes into account.What are the assumptions underlying the driving style settings?
Setting a ""sporty"" driving style assumes 100% highway driving with an average speed of approximately 130 km/h and a dynamic overtaking style. The ""economical"" setting assumes defensive driving on country roads with an average speed of around 80 km/h. Settings in between produce a mixture of both."

FAQ: THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON RANGE.
What factors affect the high-voltage battery of my BMW electric car and plug-in hybrid?
One important external factor influencing the performance and capacity of a battery is the temperature. As you probably know from your mobile phone battery, the performance is restricted in cold and hot temperatures. In your vehicle, however, this temperature influence is largely minimised by means of optimised operating strategies. And did you know know that the capacity also yields information on the range you may have? Apart from temperature, other influential factors are devices in use, such as the air conditioning, the load carried and your driving style.
What is the best possible way to prepare my BMW electric car and my plug-in hybrid for the next journey?
In order to get the maximum out of your vehicle from the outset, it is advisable to precondition the battery and vehicle interior. As cooling and heating require electric energy, this process should be carried out while the vehicle is still charging. To do this, simply set the desired departure time and conditioning requirements using the My BMW App or in the menu of the vehicle itself. When the time comes to depart, the battery will then have attained the ideal operating temperature and the climate of the interior will also be at an optimum.
How does my driving style affect the range of my BMW electric car and plug-in hybrid?
As is the case for a vehicle with a conventional propulsion system, driving style also affects the range in an electric car. As a general rule, an anticipatory, relaxed and uniform style of driving optimises your range. If, for example, you reduce your speed on the motorway from 130 km/h to 110 km/h, you can noticeably increase your range. During recuperation, that means whenever you lift your foot from the accelerator pedal, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and fed into the battery – and as a result you gain further kilometres in range.

The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.
The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification.
