Why is range important in electric vehicles?

I've been considering purchasing the new BMW i4 but I'm concerned about its range. What factors affect the range of an electric vehicle and how can I maximize it?

The range of an electric vehicle is affected by various factors such as driving habits, outside temperature, and use of accessories like air conditioning. To maximize the range of your BMW i4, it's important to drive efficiently and avoid unnecessary use of accessories.

Another important factor is the type of driving you do. City driving typically uses less energy compared to highway driving, so by planning routes with more city driving, you can increase the range of your BMW i4.
