Why is the range of the BMW i4 significantly lower compared to other electric vehicles?

I recently test drove the BMW i4 and was impressed with its performance, but was disappointed to see that the range was much lower than other electric vehicles in its class. Is there a specific reason for this?

The BMW i4 uses a high performance electric motor, which consumes more energy and reduces the overall range of the vehicle. It is important to carefully consider your driving needs and habits before choosing an electric vehicle with a lower range.
