THE COSTS OF ELECTRIC CARS.

There are many benefits to owning an electric car. Lower running costs: electric cars generally have lower running costs than petrol or diesel cars. The energy costs of an electric car are often less expensive per km than filling up with petrol or diesel. Lower maintenance requirements: electric cars have fewer moving parts in the motor, resulting in lower wear. There is no need to change the engine oil, and the brakes last longer as regenerative braking causes less wear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

What is an electric car?

A BEV (battery electric vehicles) drives exclusively on electricity, driven by an electric motor. It therefore doesn't have a combustion engine to drive the vehicle. The electrical energy is stored in a high-voltage battery. Alongside other factors[1] it is mainly its capacity that determines the range of the e-car, in other words, the distance that it can cover with one battery charge. An electric car is considerably more efficient than vehicles with combustion engines, among other things because the drive motor feeds the brake energy back to the battery, a process called recuperation. In addition, electric cars drive emission-free on shorter trips or around town. This is a significant difference from combustion engines.

Purely electric cars are ideal for users who can charge their electric cars battery at work or at home. At the same time, the public charging infrastructure is expanding at a rapid pace. New charging stations are therefore appearing frequently in urban areas and along motorways. There are high-power charging stations for ultra-fast charging on longer journeys, such as the charging stations operated by our partner IONITY in Europe. Long journeys are set to become ever simpler.

 

*The number of IONITY stations is currently limited in the IE and not available in Northern Ireland. Other manufacturer charger stations available.

Should I buy an electric car now or wait?

We already offer a range of electric cars to suit your lifestyle - from elegant saloons to high-performance SUVs.

 

An electric car provides a completely new and emotional driving experience. You'll experience amazing electric dynamics, thanks to maximum torque from a standing start with seamless acceleration. 

 

At the same time, the almost silent electric motor delivers a new and relaxed driving experience. A battery electric vehicle is also emission-free when driven on shorter trips or around town.

What factors affect the performance of the high-voltage battery in my electric car?

Temperature is a key external factor that affects a battery's performance and capacity. This is no doubt a factor you may have experienced with your mobile phone: its capacity is also limited in very cold temperatures. It's the same with your vehicle. The influence of temperature is minimised by optimised operating strategies. And did you know that the battery capacity also indicates your possible available range? Apart from the temperature, the range is largely affected by your personal driving style, and also by energy consumption factors, such as the air conditioning, trailer load, luggage, etc. By far the most important factor in terms of driving style is your chosen motorway speed. If you need to charge on the go, your BMW electric vehicle will be preconditioned when you enter a DC charging station[2] as your destination. This means that the high-voltage battery will be adjusted to the optimum operating temperature when you reach your destination, which will increase its charging capability and shorten the charging time. , which will increase its charging capability and shorten the charging time.

What do I have to consider if my electric car is left standing still or parked for a longer period of time?

If you need to park your vehicles for a long time, for example, when away on holiday, there are different factors than can have a positive effect on the battery: Ensure your car is charged between 30 and 50% and park your car in a cool place or in the shade in summer, and in a garage in winter. Do not leave your vehicle plugged in to charge for longer stationary periods.

How do electric cars work?

Electric cars work by receiving energy from the battery, which is converted into power by an electric motor. This power is used to drive the wheels. An electric motor generates more torque, and eliminates the need for a traditional transmission and so the power goes straight to the wheels for instant acceleration.

How to find the best electric car for you?

Make use of the Range Overview above to compare BMW electric cars.

Do electric cars have gears or are they automatic?

Electric cars do not have a gearbox or clutch, as they use motors instead of engines.

Do electric cars pay taxes and charges?

As electricity is not a fuel it has no scale charge,  drivers of 100% electric cars are exempt from fuel benefit tax.

Can you tow with an electric car?

You can tow with an electric car, please visit the BMW Configurator to discover if your preferred BMW model has the option of a Towbar available.

Do electric cars need an NCT?

Yes, after four years of owning any new BMW vehicle you should book in for an NCT test. Following that, you will be required to book in an NCT every two years for vehicles younger than ten years. Vehicles that are over ten years old need to be tested annually.
