Why does my BMW i3 have a limited range on full charge?

I recently purchased a BMW i3 and noticed that even on a full charge, the range seems to be limited. Is this normal for an electric vehicle and are there any measures I can take to increase the range?

The range of an electric vehicle can be affected by various factors such as weather conditions, driving habits, and battery health. It is normal for the range to vary from the advertised amount. However, to increase the range, you can try to drive more efficiently by avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking, keeping your tires properly inflated, and reducing the use of climate control.

You can also check the health of your battery and ensure it is being charged properly. If your battery is not holding a full charge, it may need to be serviced or replaced. It is recommended to have your car's battery checked regularly by a certified technician.

Another tip is to plan your trips and use public charging stations when possible. This will help you avoid running out of charge while on the road. It's also a good idea to keep your BMW i3 plugged in when not in use to maintain its charge.
