I have been using my BMW i8 in electric mode for my daily commute, but I have noticed that the range is not as long as I would like. Is there anything I can do to increase the range?
ReplyFirstly, make sure you are properly inflating your tires. Under-inflated tires can significantly reduce the range of your electric car. Secondly, try to drive more smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration, as this can also drain the battery quickly. Additionally, avoid using energy-consuming features like the heated seat or AC, if possible. Finally, you can also look into getting a level 2 charger to fully charge your car at home overnight, rather than relying on a standard outlet.
I have found that using the regenerative braking feature can greatly improve the range of my BMW i8. It captures energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and uses it to charge the battery. Also, try to plan your trips so you can take advantage of regenerative braking by avoiding frequent starts and stops. And remember to charge your car after every trip, even if it's just a short one.
