Normal weather, 100 km, 187 Wh/km consumption from vehicle data.
Each row uses that country's latest stored grid row, dated in the Grid data column; rows marked "Latest available" are older than 90 days and are not current.
Estimated energy cost at each country's average electricity market price · day-ahead market (Germany, France); residential retail average (United States); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
CO₂ = energy × grid average carbon intensity. A dash means that value is not available.

Estimated range from this vehicle's listed real-world consumption and battery capacity.
Assumptions behind these numbers
Model assumptionUsable battery: 100% of the listed 83.9 kWh (the listed capacity may be gross or net; no correction is applied).
Model assumptionSpeed: consumption starts from this vehicle's listed real-world efficiency of 187 Wh/km, times a speed factor of 1.00 (1.00 = no speed adjustment).
Vehicle dataWeather: Hot (25 °C and above) uses this vehicle's own factor 0.94, so consumption is 187 x 1.00 / 0.94 = 199 Wh/km.
Vehicle dataWeather: Normal (10-25 °C) uses this vehicle's own factor 1.00, so consumption is 187 x 1.00 / 1.00 = 187 Wh/km.
Vehicle dataWeather: Cold (below 10 °C) uses this vehicle's own factor 0.74, so consumption is 187 x 1.00 / 0.74 = 253 Wh/km.
MethodRange, energy and cost all use the same consumption figure. Energy is measured at the battery; charging losses are not included.
Where these specs come from
Battery basisListed battery 83.9 kWh is the gross capacity; the source gives no usable figure. The trip engine uses the listed figure as usable energy.
EstimateReal-world range 450 km is a site estimate, not a manufacturer figure.
DerivedDerived: listed battery capacity x 1000 / real-world range estimate = about 187 Wh/km. The range is a site estimate, so this is not a measured consumption figure.
In cold weather (below 10 °C), the estimated range of this vehicle is
332 km (206 mi)
(-26% vs normal conditions).
Among the routes in our database, these are the longest ones where the estimate needs more charging stops in cold weather than in normal weather, so they need careful planning in winter:
The BMW i4 eDrive40 delivers a WLTP-rated range of 590 kilometers, but real-world driving typically yields 450 kilometers under mixed conditions. In cold weather, the range multiplier of 0.74 translates to a concrete figure of 333 kilometers, a significant drop that drivers in winter climates must account for when planning longer journeys. The 83.9 kWh battery supports a maximum DC charging speed of 205 kW, which is competitive for its segment and allows for rapid top-ups on road trips, though the practical benefit depends on the availability of high-power chargers that can sustain that rate. The hot-weather multiplier of 0.94 results in a range of 423 kilometers, showing less thermal impact than cold. For road trips, the 205 kW peak means that a 10-80 percent charge can take around 30 minutes under ideal conditions, but the real-world charging curve may taper, so drivers should expect slightly longer stops at stations with lower power output. This balance of range and charging speed makes the i4 a capable highway cruiser, but cold weather requires more frequent charging stops.
