The BMW iX3 Just Went 626 Miles Without RehargingBut There's A Catch
"BMW engineers drove an iX3 from the factory where it's built in Hungary to Munich on one charge with range to spare. The trip was 626 miles and the vehicle completed the journey with 2% and 12 miles remaining. The route avoided highways, and the vehicle had climate, comfort and media features turned off for maximum efficiency. Electric vehicle range estimates are really just a suggestion, and you can easily exceed them with some careful driving and route planning."
"BMW proved it with the new iX3, its latest and most advanced electric vehicle, by driving one 626 miles (1,007 km) across Europewith 2% and 12 miles (20 km) of indicated range left. The SUV blew past its 500-mile (805 km) European WLTP range estimate by 25%, and even demolished the 400-mile EPA estimate it's expected to receive. It's all pretty remarkable for such a big SUV."
BMW engineers drove an iX3 from the Debrecen factory in Hungary to Munich on a single charge, covering 626 miles and finishing with 2% battery and 12 miles indicated remaining. The route avoided highways and the team turned off climate, comfort and media features to maximize efficiency and likely maintained low speeds. The SUV exceeded its 500-mile WLTP estimate by about 25% and surpassed expected EPA numbers. The iX3 uses a 108.7 kilowatt-hour battery on an 800-volt Neue Klasse platform and currently ships as a dual-motor model with a potential single-motor, more efficient variant planned. The staged conditions make the run unrepresentative of typical road trips.
