How to charge your BMW Hybrid & maximise driving range

Im thinking to get 530e. don't have car but still watching this video

The native nav on the vast major of automobiles is garbage. Google maps via Apple Car Play or Android Auto in satellite view is the best. I own a 330e and Google Maps looks fantastic with satellite view enabled. 👌

Thank you!!!

Great video though

Bro can hardly hear a thing lol. Use a microphone please

Very informative video, really good and valid information👌regarding the 330e

Supposed to give you 34 miles charge when full but mine says 15 miles on the screen when full.

You buy a volvo

if you have charged the 330e and you drive in hybride eco pro and the gear lever in sport, the car consumes 5l/100km

Nice and clear explanation. Thanks. Can anyone advise approx how many Kw to fully charge? No-one wants to answer on all the other reviews I`ve watched.

It's enjoyable working out how to get the best out of this beast.

Zero charge start and a 280-mile journey last week got me 44mpg.

Using battery control set at 100% on a 50-mile journey gave 26 mpg - a massive hit to efficiency.

I don't find the adaptive mode all that clever: when a destination's in the sat nav it still seems to want to use up all the juice too fast to leave enough for town driving at the end. I'm going to try the suggestion below of battery control set at [just enough for electric at the destination town] - that way I can just go back to CarPlay instead of bothering with the horrible BMW map.

I can't charge at home but there's a free charger 10 mins walk away so I use that some days. My commute to work is 31 miles each way over a 1500-foot pass from sea level start, and no charging at work. When I leave home with a full charge by the time I get back at night I'm usually on 68-75 mpg which I'm really happy with - the whole 62 miles is twisty (inefficient but fun) small roads. Freewheeling down the hill gets me around +2-6 miles back each way. This commute has only 3 or 4 places to safely pass other cars so the boost gets used every day ;)

Best hybrid I've driven, BMW make it so easy to choose how you want to drive.

Awesome informative video!

Fantastic video, thank you for uploading - has been useful for some of my customers.

Thanks for this video. Just got my 330e last week and has been scrambling to get the best info especially on how to maximize fuel efficiency. Frank, is there any downside if I do not plug it in and charge my battery?

Nicely explained 💯

What is MPG when using Hybrid Mode, is it equal to say, A Prius?

I just got 530e and having a hard time to charge it. But this video really helps me to control it. Thank you!!!

330e is actually very intelligent

Finally a strait to the point information so I can program my car easily. Thanks form Canada

one missing important feature is to schedule the car to start charging at the exact time you want, not the departure time (since certain time give me best price). I chose depart time for tomorrow, but when plugged in sometimes it charges right the way.
