You can see a national map of charging stations from the U.S. Department of Energy. Take advantage of the My BMW App to show you the nearest charging stations and plan your route to maximize public charging locations. You’ll need to be flexible in case of road construction, traffic, or road closures that might change your route to the nearest public charging station. You don’t want to be stuck outside of Hamilton Township because of a detour.

1. Practice Efficiency With Your EV

Learn how to be efficient with your EV’s powerplant. Accelerate gradually and press the brakes slowly by leaving enough room between your car and others while also driving at or below the speed limit. 

You also need to pay attention to the weather. Extremely hot or frigid temperatures can decrease your BMW EV range. Using the air conditioning or heater a lot can also lessen the range. Try to run the heat or air minimally while still remaining comfortable as you drive if you aren’t near an EV charging station. Consumer Reports states that the ideal outdoor temperature to maximize your BMW EV range is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so keep that in mind when starting your next adventure.
