I have had my BMW X5 45e for 5 weeks now, about 1,300 miles. Excellent SUV overall and it satisfies my EV desire as someone who has also owned a Tesla in the past.
My only complaint is the slow 3.7 kW charger. It should really be 6 or 7 kW minimum. Our other PHEV is a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid with a 16 kWh battery pack. The 6.6 kW charger in that PHEV can fully recharge the Pacifica plugin battery pack within 2 hr 20 min from 0%.
I suspect BMW will fix this with a more powerful charger in 2022. 6 or 7 hours to recharge the 45e is stupid slow.
