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.
We have another new Google phone in for review - the Pixel 10 Pro.
