I7 Range

What is the real life range everyone is getting on i7e60. Mercedes EQS580 in the winter on highway driving is dropping down to 300 - 310 miles; even though state range is 380.

I’m averaging 240 in SoCal and not driving hard. So I’m not sure what is wrong.

Per the BMW app, my average is 2.4 miles per kilowatt hour, which would equate to approx 250 mile range. My driving is typically gentle cruising, the occasional on-ramp moderately hard push, no crazy 0-60 runs, etc. This is early-on ownership so let's see how / if that changes.

From reading EV reviews of many OEM's EV, it seems that most tend to embellish their range numbers. I'm getting 90% of my eDrive50s 321 mile range (and I have the 19" tires that supposedly accomplish this). However, I've only had the car for three months so chances are it will continue to optimize. Still, I'm happy enough with it especially since I'm retired and put few miles on the car.

Mid 200's seems to be the norm for the EQS; looks like the i7 is the same.

I’ve got 21’s and spacers. Not sure if that is affecting it or maybe too many small trips around town. Lake do you have 21’s?

my i7 eats about 19.5-22.0kW/h per 100km when the temperature is over 12°C
(>60%motorway, max speed 120km/h and rest 80km/h or less)
(summer tires 21" M 909 M Multicolor Jetblack)

when <5°C the average clibs to 22.0-25.0kW/h
(winter tires)

i drive 99% in efficient mode with the ACC on - still use the boost to take over or when entering motorway or having fun.

and you have an M70 that is getting around 300 miles or 480km per charge. That sounds more promising.

Are you charging the battery to full capacity and not 80% or less per the charging max setting?

Garage List
I only charge up to 80%. In the dead of winter, it was averaging about 190 miles. Now that it's spring, it's up to 110 miles at 80% charge. Last summer I was getting around 250 miles at 80% charge.
