Was on the outskirts of Beaumont, and traffic was being traffic. Looked at the mileage, deducted the e-mileage from the total mileage, and low and behold we were barely past the 1,200 mark. I mashed that pedal so quick, got up to 105mph, and zipped passed those left-lane squatters. |

But about that... I wonder why the break in is stated in miles driven vs ICE hours (if there's even a way to view that stat). You could drive your first 1200 in almost all electric and the ICE will not have gotten broken in at all. Strange.

If you have a smart EVSE, it will give you one value based on the power passing through it that will always be more than what the vehicle reports. If you happen to choose the level 1 device, the AC-DC conversion is less efficient, and you'll be using more power to recharge the batteries. On a really cold day, if you precondition the vehicle, it may be using more power than the EVSE can replenish at that instant, but overall, it probably ends up close unless it's really frigid out. It's still better than doing all of that heating from the batteries with nothing going back in if you're still connected. To be the most efficient, you'd let the vehicle cool down prior to recharging, and for an extra bit, if you timed it to finish charging just before you departed, the charging would have prewarmed the batteries. That can be helpful in the winter. It's certainly easier to just plug it in and don't obsess over it. |

There's no AC-DC loss when using the power as it's already DC out from the battery, so, yes you'll have to heat loss, but charging is going to provide the correct amount of DC power the circuitry and batteries are expecting. If that requires more AC than mathematically required for the conversion due to loss factors, then it'll come from the AC side, not the power being put into the batteries after it's been converted. |

I don't have my 45e yet, so I can't check... is there a place in iDrive where you can see how many miles have been traveled while propelled by the ICE vs electric only?

Yes. There is a menu showing how many eDrive miles for different instances, like since factory, since individual "reset", since last fill up, since start of the trip ... something like that

The 45e does not support CCS (DC) charging. An EVSE is a fancy power cord. So, while charging the vehicle, ACV is coming in, and since the batteries need DC to charge, that power supply IS in the vehicle.
Now, regeneration outputs ACV from the motor, but that also needs to go through the power supply to add that power back into the batteries. |

Hey guys I know this is older and maybe there are newer threads on this, but I just got my 23 45e and when we left the dealer the battery was at 100% but range that showed was 24 miles. I have been trying to get back to 100% for few days now, but it’s pretty slow with stock charger.
Im in NY it got pretty cold here, but i would figure the range on electric should be closer to 30, should it improve? I drove about 60-70 miles on it already pretty much all electric. |

I guess lets see how it improves or not, I hope battery doesn't need service. |

curious about your XC90… how fast was its charger (in kW) and how many amps could you pull from its EVSE while plugged into your household outlet? the 45e's on-board charger is 3.7kW. its included EVSE maxes out at 10A, so the charger can't go any higher than 1.2kW. also note the XC90 battery capacity was 9.2kWh which is almost half of the 45e capacity, so all things the same, of course the XC90 will fully charge in less time. if you absolutely need it charged overnight, your best bet would be to get a L1 16A assuming you have a dedicated 20A household outlet for it which will fully charge in ~11h, or a L2 which will take 5.5h |

For an EV, city range is better than highway driving because you get the benefit of regenerative braking. Cruising at high speed in a less-than-optimal aerodynamic vehicle does not help your range. It is the opposite of what you see in an ICE auto as far as city vs. highway mpg. I know this is easier said than done, but don't get too hung up on the range estimate. If you drive reasonably and it isn't cold, you'll get close to the estimated range. Drive aggressively while it is cold out, and you will look at your electric range and make a service appointment |

From the dealership, the vehicle likely was powered on for extended periods, but wasn't moving. The estimate is based on the last 18-miles of travel...not time of use, so lots of sitting in traffic or just the lot will affect the estimate.

During warm weather 60~80 F degrees with no HVAC on, I easily get 44 miles on EV
Now, during colder weather 30~40 F with HVAC on, I get @ 32 ~ 40 miles on EV |

Honestly, I have no idea what the actual capacity is on any given day. In my normal around-the-city driving, I rarely go more than 30, and I have almost never "run out." I tell people my car is an EV 300+ days a year. |
