[@gregorbabic7756]

Hi Bjorn, regarding the BMW electrical machine tech... BMW shifted away from the permanent magnet synchronous motors in the last generation of EVs. Like many other brands will in near future. The main reason is uncertainty regarding the availability of rare earth materials. Now they use externally excited synchronous motor. Like Renault does on Zoe and other cars. This type of motors has some disadvantages, because you have to spend some energy to induce the magnetic field in the rotor. And the power to do that can be quite high, up to 10kW at full torque request. But on the other hand it allows you to adjust the rotor field according to the needs, which is advantageous especially at higher motor speeds where you would need to use "field weakening" in the PMSM motor. Another advantage is that you can also "turn off" the field so the motor spins completely freely, with minimal loss.

Bjørn, you do a great job of crediting and licensing music for your content - as a musician and an EV enthusiast I appreciate that! I was intrigued by the 80’s smooth synth track you played twice - very nicely done - “Good Days” by Alex Makemusic. I look forward to hearing that bass in my iX40, a replacement for my 4 year old Etron 50, arriving in October. Your videos are a really helpful resource - always honest and very entertaining! To some it seems crazy not to go for a big battery after being constrained by the older Etron (150 miles on a good day) but I’m used to charger hopping, and as you say it’s all about efficiency. I’ve had 4 years to think about it, and another 40 miles is all I need - more in tandem with rest stops when driving longer distances . I think the obsession with super long ranges is more of an issue with new adopters (I do wish it charged above 150kw though). I ordered my iX knowing the Q6 just around the corner, but the price is the same when similarly specced, and I’m a bit bored by the grey black interior- the iX way ahead of its time! Thanks again

[@Marvin-ii7bh]

I might regret it but seeing Bjorn tests gives me a bit of reassurance that I won't struggle with the range.

The efficiency mode makes a big difference, it will shut down the front motor for most of the time and tries to save energy where it can. This is one of the benefits of the motor design that BMW choose for this gen5 idrive motor.

[@jpdj2715]

Nice video, again. When you compare drag coefficients, as you do in the video, then it makes even more sense to compare the maximum cross section (area) of these cars. That's not easy, I know, but a cross section of 3m^2 and 0.24 drag coefficient is still like dragging a 0.72m^2 plate through the air, when a 2m^2 car with 0.3 drag coefficient results in 0.6m^2. And the larger car probably has wider tires with more air and rolling resistance too. So, especially between SUV and sedan or coupé models this should explain a relatively large difference in km/Wh.

[@bjornnyland]

Correct. Don't only look at Cd, look at CdA.

[@jamiegilmoreful]

Bjorn, we got our ix40 in Ontario, Canada 3 weeks ago. First EV and, being techie, I have spent countless hours reading the 380 page manual to try to figure the vehicle out. We discovered your wonderfully humorous and educational videos and I think we have seen all of them on the ix40. We are driving to Florida from Ontario at Christmas. It will be multiple 10+ hour days. Playing wtih ABRP (that I learned of from you) it seems if I I drive over the speed limit the time lost to reduced efficiency is more than made up for in reduced charge times (so charge time increase is less that time saved speeding). Does this make sense to you - maybe I am just misunderstanding the ABRP output.

[@JPetr94]

European models had 3-phase chargers 11 kW each, 22 kW max for dual chargers. If Bjørn’s Millennium Falcon has dual chargers, then IIRC it could pull up to 32 Amps to get the max 22 kW 3-phase power. The 48 Amp number is Tesla’s max spec for its modern North American cars, which don’t have access to 3-phase power.

It goes down to temperature. For some reason, the iX isn’t really efficient in cold weather. I have iX xDrive50, and it consumes about the same energy as the xDrive40. My guess is that it is trying to heatup itself more than it would need in winter.

At 130km/h I get maybe 350km range out of my fathers Kona. Not sure how 500 would be possible at this speed. Also this iX is a much bigger, heavier and more powerful car.

Great video Bjorn, thoughts on the ix40 vs the eqc400? I think these are more comparable cars and torn which to go for.

[@hamoudsudan]

I have been an EQC driver for the last three years and I have to say it is a damn decent car. I have now ordered iX (for change more than anything as my lease was coming to an end). I have test driven the iX for about an hour and my verdict overall both are decent cars. EQC interior design feels and looks a little more superior vs iX and exterior is subjective but appears more sleeker and less boxy. However, EQC suspensions feel a little stiff on bumps. Ride quality overall (noise reduction and drive train) is similar between both but the iX feels slightly smoother when it comes to handling and the brakes are a little natural compared to EQC which is a bit of a typical EV brakes (when you brake aggressively you feel that it is just not stopping quick enough). So overall in terms of drive I felt the iX is a tad better (probably reflects the age so the iX feels like an upgraded version of EQC in terms of driving). Another point is the standard features, Mercedes has a decent infotainment system (at the time of purchase I felt it was the best amongst competitors such as eTron and iPace) but even at AMG trim level there are bits that require license fees like apple car play don't come as standard which is really annoying (I know only £300 for activation but seems ridiculous given the initial outlay). BMW iX on the other hand has the new infortaiment system and the screen is super sharp and user friendly (probably the only one on par or above EQC in my opinion) then the standard features like wireless car play are quiet impressive. The head on display is one of the best I have seen in a car. BMW also feels a lot more spacious for front and back passengers. Overall I would say go for iX (but I might be biased because I have gotten used to EQC and you know, how the grass is always greener). Maybe the differences are subjective so I recommend you test drive both and choose based on your experience and budget. Hope this helps (if you haven't already made up your mind).

Then did the winter test drive not as accurate as urs made me change to ZS. Cause poor man like me can only afford 52 ID4. By learning urs ZS seems like great with battery heating option, smaller wheels, lighter on paper than ID, plus extra 16.4KW. Seen some German you tubers charge curve videos of ZS LR but I'm sure you can do way better than anyone. Also small ZS is using LFP. Even I ordered ZS LR only God knows when will come 🤣.

[@bjornnyland]

Model Y is cheaper and has less soundproofing. Model X is comparable in price and it is the flagship of Tesla. That's why.

[@timmos184]

Isn't the model Y more comparable, looking at battery size, interior space and cargo capacity? With Y being close to the iX and the X having over 10% more cargo capacity and a bigger battery to carry around. Also adding 0-60, the model Y LR outdoes the xDrive40, with the acceleration package it even equals the faster BMW. Looking at efficiency of the Y in the summer, it outdid the BMW by a lot and also beat it in the 1000km challenge with some margin. *Also the X is more efficient at higher speed, when I travel I prefer the car to be more efficient at 120 than at 90 vs another car. If you consider how you comfortable you can take a trip, the Y seems closer to the beaver than the X (7 rows or a bunch more cargo capacity with a bigger battery) I really like your channel and videos, don't want to come across as complaining too much, I understand if you look at price the X is natural Tesla rival, it's just that Y seems more comparable, but is just better for less money. (Sound system and sound proofing seem to be a lot better in the BMW and you can't have that cool shading roof, I wish Tesla offered that as an option.)

No, where is Tesla Björn ....? I don't like BMW Björn

You should subscribe to my channel. If you ask *anyone* here, they would all agree that I have posted way too many Tesla videos lately...

Why is the Model Y not showing on the spreadsheet next to this BMW? The Model Y would smash this for efficiency I think.

[@tommyvercetti7854]

It’s not in the same size category. Maybe that’s why it’s not showing on the list

[@MrChopper327]

@@tommyvercetti7854 if Tesla didn’t do the X then I bet he would have put the Y in this category. Y is bigger than you think. Almost same size as X when side by side.

[@DG-uv3zw]

@@MrChopper327 Y is much less luxurious and slightly smaller outside.( so different class) But true, when you look at many other aspects, really similar to ix. Model X is much bigger, tons more space, twice the power etc...it's a beast...

[@tymanot]

Thanks for the Video. In real life the car looks better than on pictures. But man it is huge...

E-tron has some really complicated planetary gearboxes in both ends that certainly does not lower consumption. And an axle for the motors where water cooling flow. Nice test thanks! An iX45 with 85 kWh net battery would be perfect.

[@raphi25895]

do you mean the differential?

[@eirik500]

@@raphi25895 No, the reduction transmission. You can see it in technical drawings.

[@andersnystrom5806]

Hei Björn! What about IX3 LCI? It has the precon of the battery now.

[@Owsryudie]

I am interested in Lightyear 2 xD

[@kjelle5350]

Regarding the big difference in consumption. Could it be that the shape of the car makes it extra sensitive to crosswind.
