x5 45e electric range
What are people seeing as the electric range after a full charge? i'm averaging between 35 and 42. The most common range shown after a full charge is 37 miles.
I expect it will go up in the summer but doubt it will jump to 50 as advertised. |

I'm seeing 65km (40.3 m) in the morning. However when driving it drops quickly to 55 (34.1m) while I haven't driven 10km at all.
In the end I seem to get a bit more range than the initial 65km. I assume this is caused by the regenerative braking etc.. |

I get typically 59km so 37mls at 100%...
My average consumption electric is 46kw/h though, which i think is huge. A model X should get around 23 according to the interwebz... that is half! 46 kwh/100km would translate in a range of 45km taking into account that only 21kwh is actually usable. |

I am between 38 and 39 KwH. In the morning I have 60-64 km. My car is parked inside and I have 19 inch wheels. I preheat and the temperatures outside are not as low as they should be for this time of year.

And yes that amount is rather high compared to Tesla. In real life the Model X has 30-35kWh, still less than BMW. I don't like Tesla as a car. But their battery and electric motor design are marvels of engineering. None of the German manufacturers come close. |

The car indicates +/- 65km when fully charged. Managed to squeeze almost 60km out of it this morning on the way to work. The trick is mainly to keep yourself from hammering it.
Energy usage was 37kWh average and I’m on 21” wheels. |

I do a lot of short distances in full electric mode and on the highway i mainly use the ICE. In full electric the max power is raised from 30 to 40% on battery power and makes the car fast enough for normal use but i must admit i see the power meter at full 40% quite often when accelerating... But in hybrid the electric acceleration is just a bit too slow for me. |

In electric mode it is possible to use 40% of the power and the ICE will not take over unless you kickdown or put the transmission in sport. Hope this clarifies things a bit? |

This is how I understand it. IOW, if you want to accelerate as fast as possible without turning the ICE on, use ELECTRIC mode. Does this sound correct? |

Wow, those are awesome values! I thought they were way off since on top it says "Values since last fill up" but at 2,8 l/100km the 69l actually does take you more than 2000km.
What is you typical use? Do you do a lot of highway? As I said, i can't seem to get below 40kwh average, even if I am quite carefull and don't do higher speed highway traffic In any case, at 7.1 l/100 km I still am quite happy for such a big car. Even though this is on top of 46kwh. But I have a much lower proportion on electric only than you have. I guess a chaging point at the office wouldn't hurt. |

I presume your trips are generally below 60 km and don't have a lot of highway? Nice thinking by Peter. I wondered why my total range was going up progressively. I thought the car was taking account of my careful driving style. But of offcourse it is just multiplying the amount of fuel with the current mean consumption which lowers progressively while driving full electric all the time🤓. Probably a rapid back tot earth on the next longer highway trip. |

Well to be honest ... the range was going from 880 when I filled up until today (i did a trip to Veurne) and the range is now 1115km. I think they calculate on previous use etc... I'm wondering when I will see 2000 km standing there :-). |

Anyway the 7.1 l / 100km is what i think already very good. With the F15 i did do 7.3l in the summer and 8.6l in the winter. We only had 20km range ! And to be honest i do like sport mode also and go 2-3 times a year to germany so ... |

Overall, I think the drivetrain works wonderfully and selects the appropriate combination of ICE and electric, without any possibility to notice transitions. But it would also be nice to understand how it works in various driving modes and conditions and that has been really difficult to figure out. BMW should provide some actual technical details in the owner's manual or other documentation and not just marketing talk. |
