Why is the BMW i7's battery life shorter than its competitors?

I recently purchased a BMW i7 and I noticed that its battery life is significantly shorter than other electric cars on the market. Is there a technical reason for this and are there any ways to improve the battery life?

Hi Samantha, the BMW i7's battery life may seem shorter because it has a higher performance output compared to its competitors. The car uses more energy to accelerate and maintain high speeds, which can drain the battery more quickly. However, there are ways to improve the battery life such as using Eco mode or regenerative braking. It's important to find a balance between performance and battery life to get the most out of your car.

Hi Samantha, the BMW i7's battery has a smaller capacity compared to its competitors. This means it will need to be charged more frequently. You can try investing in a home charging station or using public fast chargers to improve the convenience of charging and extend your driving range.
