Tips to Get More Range from BMW i4

🔋

Charge to 80% daily

Keeping battery between 20–80% extends long-term battery health significantly.

❄️

Pre-condition the cabin

Run AC or heat while plugged in before driving — not from battery.

🌿

Use Eco mode in city

Eco mode limits motor output and maximises regenerative braking.

🔄

Max regen braking

High regenerative braking setting recovers 5–8% range on stop-start routes.

🏎️

Avoid high-speed cruising

Range drops sharply above 100 km/h — plan highway legs at 80–90 km/h.

💨

Park in shade on hot days

Thermal management drains battery in extreme heat even when parked.
