With this kind of range, makes it feasible to buy EV for long trips. 20-80% in 22 minutes. Me4cedes new glc EV achieves 650km. If it comes in lwb version, maybe 750km. And curb weight of bmw ix3 is only 2300kg.

A BMW iX3 50L xDrive prototype left Xining last week, climbed to nearly 4,000 meters above sea level, drove the full Qinghai Lake loop on public roads through snow, rain, and altitude sunshine, and came home 800 kilometers later with 2% battery left. The average consumption over the run was 12.6 kWh per 100 kilometers. BMW puts the implied range potential at 835 to 840 kilometers. According to BMW, the iX3 long wheelbase ran the whole road in Efficient mode.

The iX3 Long Wheelbase — sold in China as the iX3 50L xDrive and wearing Brilliance BMW badges — is the first long-wheelbase all-electric SAV on the Neue Klasse platform. The wheelbase stretches to 3,005 mm, up 108 mm from the standard iX3, with every millimeter of that going to rear-seat legroom. That puts it on a longer wheelbase than an X5, inside a body with the footprint of an X3. Cargo volume climbs to 1,900 liters with seats folded — 150 liters more than the standard iX3.

BMW Just Drove 800 km Over A Tibetan Plateau Without Plugging In
The Neue Klasse SUV averaged 12.6 kWh/100 km across snow, rain, and nearly 2,000 m of altitude variation.
