When the price matches the performance. Compared to traditional petrol and diesel-powered cars, electric cars have fewer consumable parts and therefore generally less expensive service costs. At the same time, you can charge them with the electricity tariff that is right for you.

[1] Battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Whilst we recommend the battery is charged to 80% to help optimise the health and life of your battery, the electric range figure shown is the WLTP figure after the battery had been fully charged to 100%. WLTP figures are shown for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles, and vehicle load.
[2] Range depends on various factors, in particular: individual driving style, route characteristics, outside temperature, heating/air conditioning, pre-conditioning.
[3] The charging performance depends on the state of charge, ambient temperature, individual driving profile and use of auxiliary consumers. The ranges shown are based on the WLTP best case. The charging times apply to ambient temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius after a preceding drive and may differ depending on the usage behaviour.
[4] The recharged range in miles after 10 minutes of High-Power-Charging was determined according to DIN70080 in the WLTP cycle. It depends on the vehicle equipment, individual driving profile, ambient temperature, charging status and the use of additional consumers.
Life, in charge: A BMW driver’s view.
What do our BMW electric drivers think about charging costs?
Considering making the electric switch but still have some questions? We spoke with BMW iX3 owner, James, who shared how going electric meant he could maintain his overall costs while driving a more premium vehicle. By installing a home charger and choosing to charge overnight with a specific EV tariff, his running costs are 10-20% less than his previous diesel car, savings that he has been able to put towards the cost of his vehicle.
To hear more about James’ electric experience, watch the full video below.
Savings will depend on a number of factors including energy tariffs, fuel cost, vehicle finance, mileage.

[2] Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195. For more information about NEDC and WLTP measuring procedures visit www.bmw.com/wltp
Further information about fuel consumption and official model-specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the "Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption for new passenger cars", available free of charge at all points of sale, at the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany, and under https://www.dat.de/co2/.
