The BMW i4 demonstrates low consumption in the Cold and Warm Laboratory Tests – ca. 18 kWh/100 km from the electricity grid. In the Highway cycle, the electric saloon uses only 24.9 kWh/100 km, corresponding to a range of 302 km. The On-Road Drive was performed at around 17°C and the BMW needed about 18 kWh/100 km, leading to a range of around 424 km. In the Cold Ambient Test at -7°C, the i4 shows a rather high energy demand of 34.1 kWh/100 km, a consequence of high heating comfort and quick cabin warm-up at such winterly conditions.

Comments

This Index is based on a Well-to-Wheel+ approach, meaning that the GHG emissions related to the supply of the energy are added to those of the tailpipe. The vehicle's production is not yet included in the assessment due to the implicit limitations of generic data about global supply chains. As the BMW i4 is purely electric, its GHG emissions originate only from electricity supply – ca. 50‑96 g CO2‑eq./km, depending on the test consumption.

Our verdict

Tested here is the BMW i4 eDrive35 – a rear wheel drive saloon with a maximum power of 210 kW and a declared usable battery capacity of 67 kWh. The mass of the empty vehicle is 2,103 kg. The measured test consumption values are creditable and the vehicle provides good comfort for the passengers in cold and warm environments. A PTC-heater and a heat-pump are used for cabin heating, combining quick heat-up characteristics and low energy demand on longer trips. For the battery capacity test the vehicle is charged with 11 kW charging power. With a measured value of 67.4 kWh, the usable battery capacity matches closely the declared value of 67 kWh. The full battery recharge takes 75.0 kWh from the electricity grid, which results in a reasonable grid-to-battery output efficiency of 89.9 %. Overall, the BMW i4 finishes with an Average Score of 96% and effortlessly collects all 5 Green Stars.
