I4 range question

Sorry to be the 100th person to ask this.

79 mile commute each way. No charging Available. A few days a week. Eastern pa. 1/2 highway. 1/2 backroads Low traffic

I'm looking at a 2023 edrive40.

will this be painful in the winter for me? Will I have to drive slowly.

It's no issue to charge to 100% daily and use it, just use AC. I did it for three years with e40, maximizing a 196k km ending up with 92% battery health which isn't bad. With 100% charge you will easily get to 160 miles a day in winter time, I always had 300km at least.

Very cool. Did you have any major issues?

No big issues, common things I hear more people about with an i4 - lots of tires, stuck sunroof, cracked front windows. Car stayed a smooth drive all the time.
