Is the range of the BMW i3 affected by outside temperature?

I have heard that electric cars can have reduced range in extreme temperatures. Is this true for the BMW i3 as well? How much of an impact does temperature have on the range?

Yes, outside temperature does have an impact on the range of the BMW i3. In colder temperatures, the battery may lose some of its capacity, resulting in reduced range. However, this can be mitigated by preheating the car while it is still plugged in. In warmer temperatures, the car may have slightly increased range due to improved battery performance. Overall, it is important to consider the outside temperature when planning longer trips with the BMW i3.

As with any electric car, outside temperature can affect the range of the BMW i3. It is important to keep in mind that extreme temperatures can impact the battery's performance and thus the range of the car. To make the most out of your BMW i3, try to avoid driving in extreme temperatures and consider preheating or precooling the car while it is still plugged in.

In my experience, the BMW i3 handles extreme temperatures quite well. While outside temperature can have a small impact on the range, I have not noticed any significant differences in my daily driving. Plus, you can always use the ECO and ECO PRO driving modes to conserve energy and extend your range.
