What is the range of the BMW X5 new energy model?
2 Answers
The BMW X5 plug-in hybrid 45e model is equipped with a 24kWh lithium battery, with an officially claimed pure electric range of 85 kilometers. Range of other new energy vehicles: GAC New Energy Aion LX, launch time: Q3 2019, NEDC comprehensive range: 520km/650km, power battery pack energy: unknown. As a flagship model under GAC New Energy, the Aion LX has made a strong entrance, showing great potential to dominate the pure electric mid-size SUV market. Recently, specific details about the Aion X have also been disclosed. In the sixth batch of the new energy promotion catalog, the GAC New Energy Aion LX has two versions with NEDC comprehensive range of 650km and 520km. Charging methods for new energy vehicles: Portable charging refers to using the portable charging cable that comes with the vehicle to connect to a standard household socket for charging. This is a very convenient charging method, as it allows charging wherever a socket is available. However, the charging speed is not impressive. Generally, a standard household socket has a voltage of 220V and a current of 10A, theoretically providing a power of 2.2kW, but in actual use, the charging power is typically only around 1.5kW.
The pure electric range of the BMW X5 plug-in hybrid is approximately 80 to 88 kilometers under WLTP conditions, depending on the specific model configuration. For my daily commute, this range is generally sufficient as long as the one-way trip doesn't exceed 40 kilometers. In practical use, I've noticed that using air conditioning and rapid acceleration significantly impacts the range - during winter when using the heater, the range drops to just over 60 kilometers. For long-distance travel, there's no need to worry as this plug-in hybrid system automatically switches between electric and gasoline modes, with a full tank providing a combined range easily exceeding 700 kilometers. I recommend developing a regular charging habit - for urban commuting, you can basically avoid using gasoline altogether.
