Comparison: Range (WLTP) BMW i4 vs. competitors 2025

The range of an electric car, such as this , refers to the maximum distance it can travel on a single charge of its battery. This can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and capacity of the battery (i4 eDrive35 : 70 kWh), the vehicle's weight ((i4 eDrive35 : 2075 kg)) and aerodynamics, and the driving conditions.The WLTP range cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is a test procedure specifically designed to measure the range and consumption of an electric vehicle. It is done in variety of driving conditions, such as urban, suburban and highway driving , as well as air conditioning and heating usage.This test aims to provide a more realistic estimate of an electric vehicle's range than the previous testing method (NEDC), which was based on a single driving cycle.The longest range you can find amongst similar vehicles has Volvo ES90 Single Motor Extended Range ( ), which is 150km more than the i4 eDrive35 - 650 km. For illustration, the difference in battery capacity between the BMW and the Volvo is 22kWh. On the other hand, the shortest range in the " schrägheck" category belongs to Silence S04 Nanocar , which is 75 km - that makes it 425km shorter than the BMW in question.
