I recently bought a BMW i5 and noticed that the range on the battery is not as advertised. Is there any way to increase the range or improve the battery performance?
ReplyThere are a few ways to improve the battery performance on your BMW i5. First, make sure you are not using any unnecessary features like heated seats or air conditioning, as these can drain the battery quickly. Also, try to avoid rapid acceleration and heavy braking, as this uses up more energy. Lastly, you can also adjust the regenerative braking settings to maximize energy recapture.
I have found that keeping the battery charged to around 80% rather than fully charged, can help improve the overall lifespan and performance of the battery. Additionally, try to plan your routes ahead of time to avoid long periods of idling or stop-and-go traffic, as this can also impact the battery's range.
In my experience, using the ECO Pro mode on my BMW i5 has greatly improved the range on my battery. This mode helps optimize energy usage and can extend the range by up to 20%. It does limit some features like the HVAC system, but it's a small sacrifice for a longer battery life.
