I noticed that the all-electric range of my BMW i5 decreases significantly when I have the air conditioning on. Why is this happening and is there any way to improve my range while still keeping the air conditioning on?
ReplyEric, the air conditioning system in the BMW i5 is powered by the car's battery, which also powers the electric motor. This means that when the air conditioning is on, it is using up some of the battery's energy and reducing your all-electric range. One way to improve your range while using the air conditioning is to set the temperature at a slightly higher level, as this will require less energy from the battery to cool the car.
Hey Eric, another tip to improve your range while using the air conditioning is to park your car in the shade whenever possible. This will help keep the car cooler and reduce the amount of energy needed to cool it down with the air conditioning.
Eric, it's important to also keep your BMW i5 well-maintained, including regular tire rotations and alignment. By keeping your car in optimal driving condition, you can improve its overall efficiency and potentially increase your all-electric range, even while using the air conditioning.
