The BMW i3s I01 needs 3 stops on Paris → Lyon (465 km at 130 km/h), for a total time of 5h14.
What is the real motorway consumption of the BMW i3s I01?+
WLTP consumption does not reflect motorway reality. At 130 km/h, aerodynamic drag raises consumption by 15 to 25 %. Caralogy calculates a specific consumption from the aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and engine efficiency.
How much does BMW i3s I01 cost in a Paris → Lyon?+
On the Paris → Lyon (465 km) trip, the energy used by the BMW i3s I01 costs 35.24 € at default rates (home 0.20 €/kWh, fast charger 0.60 €/kWh). The energy bought at the charger may be higher: what remains in the battery on arrival is not counted.
What is the real motorway range of the BMW i3s I01?+
The BMW i3s I01 is rated at 330 km WLTP, but can count on around 217 km at 130 km/h. This figure determines the number of charging stops.
