BMW X1

I took a the plunge & went hybrid! Can someone tell me if this is normal, when fully charged (plug in) it only shows 38km range. When it’s in petrol mode it seems to use a lot ? Also, does the warm up function use battery or petrol? Salesman said it was best to use this on cold mornings but I’m beginning to wonder!

I have a 2021 BMW Hybrid. I get over 50km in electric only mode. I think it is recommended to start pre heating the cabin when it is plugged in as it uses the battery.

It depend on the way you drive the car and battery is better in warmer weather.

Good luck with the hybrid and a great choice IMO.

50 k is great! I’m getting 38k! Maybe it will charge better when I get the home charger in?

Charging at home or at a public charger won't make any difference to the range

Judge it on the actual KM you get, not what the expected range states on the virtual dash.

The weather, the way you drive the car etc, will make a difference.
