Why does the BMW iX have a higher battery capacity than other electric vehicles?

I've been looking into purchasing an electric vehicle and noticed that the BMW iX has a much higher battery capacity compared to other electric vehicles on the market. Can you explain the technical reasons behind this?

Hi Emma, the BMW iX has a higher battery capacity due to its advanced battery technology called i4. This technology allows for a more efficient use of the battery's energy, resulting in a larger capacity without increasing the size of the battery itself.

Hi Emma, the BMW iX also has a larger battery capacity because it was designed from the ground up to be an electric vehicle. Other electric vehicles may be adaptations of existing models, which can limit the size and placement of the battery.
