Electric BMWs merge iconic design and engineering excellence with sustainability and efficiency, a winning combination.

In this article, we’ll learn more about electric BMWs, exploring the impressive BMW electric car range these vehicles offer. When buying an electric vehicle, assessing its range is crucial, as it determines its suitability for both daily commutes and longer journeys. We’ll also discover the benefits of driving an electric BMW and reveal which models are available to lease at LetsTalk Leasing.

What is an electric car?

Electric cars are vehicles powered by electricity rather than petrol or diesel. They use electric energy stored in a rechargeable battery to power an electric motor. Electric cars are charged up by plugging them into an electrical power source like a home or public charging point.

The main benefit of fully electric cars is that they produce zero emissions and are environmentally friendly. In the UK, there is a significant shift towards electric vehicles. By 2030, the UK government plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars as part of its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change.

What is the range on a BWM electric car?

If you’ve never driven an electric car before, it’s common to worry about how far they can go before they need recharging. This common fear is often referred to as ‘range anxiety’. However, range anxiety is now less of an issue than it used to be. While older models of electric vehicles often have low ranges, modern electric cars feature advanced battery technology and significantly longer ranges.

So, what is a BMW electric car range? Whilst the range does vary from one model to the next, it’s generally very good on electric BMWs! Generally, you’ll find that models with larger batteries offer a longer driving range. For example, the BMW iX and i7 both have a driving range of around 380 miles, putting them in Top Gear’s list of 2023’s top 10 electric cars with the longest range. However, the BMW iX1 has a slightly lower range of up to 270 miles.
