My first tank was almost 700 miles. 2nd one is pretty much the same.

I haven't reset my trip computer yet. Here is the list of numbers.

1,557 miles
1.7 miles/kWh
33.1 mpg
13.2 mph

I have to say the mpg for this 2.0 engine alone is worse than my 35i. When the battery is depleted, the engine appears to have the sufficient power to move this vehicle, but the heavy weight in X5 and other factors seem to cost more fuel and hurt mpg.

I have lots of bumper-to-bumper traffic daily.

And, the way that BMW and ZF transmission deliver the battery power to 4-wheels isn't very efficient. Our miles/kWh is much lower than the true EVs.

My battery can go about 10 miles in Winter. I expect my 40e shall perform better in warmer time later.
