According to the latest studies fastcharging and fast de-charging degrades the battery much faster.
So i4 edrive vs m50...
Edrive has wlpt of 590 km ( real life estimate is 475 km)
M50 has wlpt of 515 km (real life estimate 450 km)
However the m50 is heavier and less effective and will decharge faster, it also has more powerful engines which will de-charge up to 60% more (340 hp vs 544 hp). The shorter range will probably also give the need for more top ups with fast charging.
This means the battery will degrade faster on the m50 and the range difference will become larger over time 🤔
I am still conflicted about which model to buy. I have upgraded the i4 edrive with M-Sport package including M suspension etc, so it is 99% the same as M50 only with better range.
Does anyone have data on the actual degradation of modern EV batteries?
For example if I use a 10% degradation of the edrive and for the m50 20% degradation:
Worst case Real life range:
Edrive 430 km range (wlpt 530 km)
M50 360 km range(wlpt 410 km)
