Increased electric range with the warmer weather..

Good morning,

Just seeing if anyone else (still driving) has seen an increase in battery range with this warmer weather? A weekly trip I take - approx 18 miles there and back all via B roads has gone from not being able to do it all on battery (when I first had the car in December), to getting back with 2-3m range left a month or two ago, to now where I have 8-9 miles range left (and interestingly over 50% range left showing on the display - I haven't gone any further to see how much is actually left). I was expecting an improvement during the warmer months, maybe not so noticeably!?

Increased electric range

I have noticed the same shows 30 mile range after charging and have been getting 28 miles on pure electric.

Same here, always between 23 and 28. To be fair the warmer weather isn't quite here in Scotland, still waiting for those few days ..

Plug mine in last night and was showing 32 miles fully charged on connected drive. Got in it this morning and that had dropped to 30 straight away. Then before moving off it had dropped to 29.
Only done about a mile driving today and this evening was registering 27 remaining, then plugged it in to see what it might go up to with the warmer weather, and it has now dropped to 25 fully charged!! 🤔
I think I’m going to give up trying to work it out!!

I can’t ever see it getting in to 30’s. I think BMW’s max range is extremely optimistic

I can’t see how warmer weather is going to get me an extra 30%+ range.

I’ve barely used my car for the past 6 weeks, just to the shops and back a few times, and have just managed to sneak above 40 miles on the battery. You’ll see that the speeds are pretty slow though so the improvement is more likely to be driving style rather than temperature related

That’s good going! But what are you getting now on a full charge?

Getting a better indicated full range too now.

During winter I was getting circa 23/24 miles. Currently showing 31/32 miles. Southern UK temps helping I guess.

So this morning this is now the status.

As per my previous message and others clearly the weather is a factor, mid 20's Celsius yesterday dropping to early teens overnight.

I believe the WLTP reported range by BMW is 34-36. I wonder what will happen when we get to summer temps??

I am seeing 21/22 no matter what I do. When it first came, Xmas time it was showing 28/29. Was hoping for an increase with warmer weather.

Same here. Seems to be 22 whatever the temperature. I did manage 26 a couple of weeks ago but has slipped back to 22

What app do you need to download for the Connected Drive for iOS? Mine is arriving tomorrow and being delivered so not expecting the driver to have loads of info about the car but I might be wrong!

One day I managed 28 for about 50 yards then it dropped to 27. Never more than 27.

Efficiency figures I am told, or rather when I pushed, as BMW never tell you anything, are to be deleted.

I am told they don't work and at a forthcoming website update they will disappear.
