Why is the BMW i4's range significantly different from advertised?

I recently purchased a BMW i4 and have noticed that the range of the vehicle is significantly lower than what was advertised by the manufacturer. Can you please explain why this is happening and what steps I can take to improve the range?

Hi Samantha, I'm sorry to hear that you have been experiencing a lower range than expected with your BMW i4. One factor that can affect the range is driving habits, such as excessive acceleration and braking. Another factor could be environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or hilly terrain. It is also important to make sure that your vehicle is well-maintained and that the tires are properly inflated. I recommend consulting with a BMW dealer for further assistance and to see if any updates or fixes are available.

Hi Samantha, it's possible that the advertised ranges for the BMW i4 were obtained under ideal conditions, which may not always be replicable in real-world situations. Additionally, different driving modes (e.g. Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport) can also affect range. I suggest experimenting with different modes to see which one yields the best range for your driving habits. Another tip is to try and plan your routes more efficiently to minimize energy usage. I hope this helps!
