94Ah BMW i3 REx Full Range Test

[Roadracer1977]

Hi all,
I logged how far I could get on a full charge and a full tank of petrol, and pushed everything as far as I could.
Managed 213.1 miles, with the battery saying there was another 6 miles of range remaining, which means a total real world range of this car of 220 miles, which is 10% more than the BMW quoted 200 miles.

Here's a link to the video:-

Great vid thanks!

One question: How "carefully" would you say you were driving in these range tests? Obviously i assume you're not flooring it everywhere, but would you say you were "keeping up with traffic" ?

Great video. I always thought my 200 mile commute is impossible in one of these. You've got me thinking now!

if it was possible and repeatable daily bmw would quote the range as that.

How far will it go on a straight motorway run, normal 75mph?

I was driving at the speed limit where traffic and road conditions allowed. As the torque and power is instant, you don't need to floor it to be keeping up with the traffic. I had a passenger on board, and was doing 70mph on the motorway with the air-con on. However, there was a little (not much) management to get it to do the mileage I achieved.

For what it's worth, I do believe that it's possible to drive even more conservatively and you could quite probably achieve 230+ miles off a full charge and one full tank of petrol.

Thanks for video, good to see someone demonstrating max range.

I'm very close to placing order, though I'm going full BEV, just checking best company tax position...
