I thought the 45e in Europe has at least 50-60 miles range???
Unless it's kilometers and I remembered it wrong?? |
The maximal displayed range I have seen with full charge was 92 km. The realistic real range is around 70 km (40-45 miles). Worse in low temperatures. For most people this is enough going to work and returning.
Charging is still 3,7 kw. So 10 hours on standard 220V to fully charge. |
Still takes 10 hours to charge this puny battery? Does anyone know in the US if it'll charge faster on a 240V outlet like Teslas do? Teslas can charge like 30 miles per hour of charge. |
Charging on a dedicated charger is around 7 hours (3,7 Kw, single fase max). On a household plug with the BMW included home charger it's 2,3 Kw max so around 10 hours on 220V. The Tesla can handle 11Kw 3 fase 220V if available with a dedicated charger, charging times will be much better.
From my experience 10h is not a problem. I charge it overnight and leave fully charged in the morning. Plugging in at the mall or somewhere else for one hour is only useful when it gives you acces to a better parking spot. Not for the battery charge it self.
The Audi Q7 etron has a 7,2 Kw onboard charger. I don't know why bmw didn't install a better one.
