BMW iX3: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in kWh/100 km[1]: 18.0–17.6; Electric range, WLTP in km[2]: 461–471
The cost benefits of electric cars.
Electric vehicles have long been more than just an investment in the future. Today, they already offer a wide range of benefits that become increasingly persuasive with each new model generation. An electric vehicle is more expensive to buy than a comparably-sized combustion engine vehicle. However, over its entire service life, the total cost of ownership is lower.

The everyday benefits of electric cars.
With a BMW electric vehicle, mobility is becoming easier and easier, especially in towns and cities. Bus lanes are often approved for private electric vehicles. Parking charges are usually reduced or even waived.
Batteries with an impressive service life.
Electric vehicle batteries have been developed with the greatest care. Drivers can have a positive impact on the service life of an electric vehicle battery by adapting their own driving behaviour. Among other things, by maintaining the recommended 10-80% state of charge. Intelligent heat management adjusts the battery to the optimum operating temperature and prevents overheating.
The benefits of regenerative braking with electric cars.
Regenerative braking is also known as recuperation or energy recovery. In this process, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy when the vehicle brakes. The range of an electric vehicle is dependent on driving behaviour and the route profile. A further benefit is less pollution caused by brake particle abrasion.

Improved efficiency.
A vehicle's efficiency indicates the proportion of supplied energy that is actually used for the forward propulsion of the vehicle. If the prescribed EU driving cycle (WLTP) and losses incurred during battery charging and discharging are taken into account, the efficiency of the current BMW generation of electric drive systems is around 75%.
About 75% of the energy charged is actually used for the propulsion of the vehicle when driving a BMW electric vehicle. With internal combustion engine vehicles, efficiency under comparable conditions is around 33%. The efficiency losses with internal combustion engines are the result of waste heat.

[1] Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195.

[2] Range depends on various factors, in particular: individual driving style, route characteristics, outside temperature, heating/air conditioning, pre-conditioning.
[3] The charging performance depends on the state of charge, ambient temperature, individual driving profile and use of auxiliary consumers. The ranges shown are based on the WLTP best case. The charging times apply to ambient temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius after a preceding drive and may differ depending on the usage behaviour.
[4] The recharged range in km after 10 minutes of High-Power-Charging was determined according to DIN70080 in the WLTP cycle. It depends on the vehicle equipment, individual driving profile, ambient temperature, charging status and the use of additional consumers.
