Why is the BMW i5's electric range different in different driving modes?

I have noticed that the electric range of my BMW i5 varies depending on which driving mode I am in. Can you explain why this is?

Hi Emily, great question! The electric range of your BMW i5 depends on different factors such as driving style, road conditions, and weather. In Sport mode, more power is needed for acceleration and thus the range may be slightly reduced. In Eco Pro mode, the car is optimized for maximum range and will use less energy. It's always a good idea to switch between driving modes to find the one that best suits your driving needs.

Hey Emily, it's common for electric vehicles to have varying ranges in different driving modes. In Comfort mode, the car balances performance and efficiency, while Eco Pro mode prioritizes efficiency. One tip is to use Eco Pro mode for longer trips on highways, as this can extend the electric range. Hope this helps!

Hi Emily, as an i5 owner myself, I can tell you that the electric range can also be affected by external factors such as temperature. In colder weather, the car needs more energy to heat up the battery and cabin, resulting in a shorter range. To maximize range, try preheating the car while it's still plugged in. Happy driving!
