You have to have a completely different mindset to how you drive and see driving in an ICE car then in an electric car.
Glis Guy, you looked at the BEV like you look at an ICE car, I.e. I can get 600 miles out of a tank, that’s not how you look at BEVs.
The majority of drivers in this country only average 20-40 miles a day, and instead of the ICE car attitude of fill up when I’ve used most of the tank of fuel, with a BEV you follow ABC, Always Be Charging, I.e. you keep the “tank” filled up to around 80% unless doing a long journey then charge to 100%.
As for the car being noisy, blame BMWs choice of tyres and the fact it’s a BMW.
As for drive, meh, any other system works just as well and if it was the bees knees, then other manufacturers would ok for the 90’s have gone the same way. The system was ok for the 90’s.
you need to try other BEVs away from BMW, who don’t have a track record in electric vehicles, still using ICE platforms to build them.
