BMW I7 XDRIVE60 M SPORT
Ialways said I’d start looking at buying an EV when I found one that would take me the 256 miles from home to Heathrow and back without recharging regardless of weather, traffic conditions or time of day. And the arrival of the BMW i7 to coincide with just such a journey seemed an ideal way to test it out. Until I looked at the flight ticket and realised I was flying out of Gatwick, adding a nice, neat 60 miles to the round trip. Over 300 miles on a charge? Not a chance, because you know as well as I that the gap that exists between what an EV manufacturer says a car will do and reality is more a yawning chasm.
