Why is my BMW i3 not holding its charge?

I recently purchased a used BMW i3 and I noticed that it doesn't hold its charge as long as I expected. I'm worried that I might have bought a faulty vehicle. Is this something I should be concerned about? What should I do?

Hi Sophie, it's normal for the BMW i3 to have a lower range than other electric cars due to its compact size. However, if you're experiencing a significant decrease in range, it could be caused by several factors such as weather conditions, inefficient driving, or battery degradation.

Don't panic, Sophie. You can easily check the battery health using the BMW i3's built-in diagnostic system. If the battery is degraded, you may need to replace it. But if everything looks normal, try adjusting your driving habits to maximize your range.
