🪫⚡Sidenote: I wanted to know, how much battery the iX1 loses when parked outside in winter. So I left it outside for three weeks at an average temperature of 1 C° - the batter lost -1% only. ❄🥶
Great video, thank you very much. It would have been cool if you had ridden a downhill section in B mode instead of D. I would have been interested to see whether the car stays on track when braking due to recuperation. Definitely the first real snow video with the IX1 👍👍
Thanks, nice driving. We got our first - heavy wet - snow in Bavaria 2 weeks ago. My BMW iX1 30M had no problems at all ,but not really a good test under proper cold/icy snow conditions. I saw a comment about "B" -One Pedal - Mode selection. I would think that would be worse in downhill traction, but would be great if you could try it out before I wrap my car around a tree!
Its like downshifting in a gas car, the wheels dont lock up. Scary thing about downhill on ice is you either choose stearing or breaking. One pedal gives you an extra choice. I love BMWs and they do amazing in snow, and more people need to buy them here in Alaska and other snowy climates.
Good question!⚡🔋 Unlike a combustion engine, an electric motor delivers its power over an extremely wide speed range, which is why the iX1 does not need a gearbox.
