The difference in the specified WLTP range and actual range is large in some cars. For this reason Autovisie test the real average driving range in practice air conditioning And radio on. That way you know better how far you really get with an EV.
BMW IX
Autovisie drives The BMW IX With the big 115 kWh battery pack. The net capacity is 109.1 kWh. The battery provides the two electric motors with the XDrive60 with energy that together deliver 544 hp. According to the WLTP measuring method, the car comes 701 kilometers away on a battery charge. What do we achieve in practice for an action radius?
Actual radius
Under almost ideal conditions we missed the task with about 100 kilometers, but in percentages a deviation of 603 kilometers by 18.1 kWh/100 km is not a wrong score.
When fasting, there was a kink (you) in the cable, where the question of guilt always remains in the dark. The promised 195 kW was missed by 2 kW, but after 40 percent a big dip took place to 135 kW, which took the 10 to 80 percent loading for 37 minutes instead of 35 minutes. BMW is lagging behind in this segment.
Difference in consumption and action radius
The actual consumption including loading losses can be more than 10 percent higher than what can be seen on the on -board computer. The total amount of electricity generated to reach the WLTP action radius is therefore greater than what actually fits in the battery.
Testing action radius
Autovisie itself in the Netherlands independently tests the consumption during the Autovisie Double Test. Note the consumption can vary because depends on your driving style but also weather conditions and many more factors.
