    Same here,probably around 15%,and I am sure the brake wear is more as well
    In fact I can see exactly how she has been driving it as you can go into a recorded graph on the main infotainment screen of fuel usage averaged at intervals of I think every 2 minutes or so.
    Also it is interesting to check the graph after it has been in for a service.

    That same article says "That's not to say BMW is favoring combustion engines to the detriment of EVs. For this year, the company has set an objective for zero-emission vehicles to account for 15 percent of total deliveries. By the end of the decade, the Munich-based marque projects one in two cars it will sell isn't going to have an ICE."

    So BMW accepts the reality of the situation.

    The end of the decade is a long way away.
    Almost every vehicle manufacturer has continually changed their ideas and outlooks in relation to EVs in the last two years.

    Although some have stuck with going to just EVs,so it will be interesting to see if they do backflips as well,once their sales volumes drop off.

    Not here - not true solid state. still a better effort than most!!

    "an average speed of 52.13 miles per hour during the roadtrip that took place in cold weather (28.4°-10.4° F).

    Nio has demonstrated the real-life range of its new 150-kilowatt-hour Ultra Long Range battery by completing a 648-mile (1,044-kilometer) journey in China on a single battery charge.
    A Nio ET7 electric sedan fitted with the semi-solid state battery and driven by Nio CEO and founder William Li and Senior Vice President of Nio Power Dr. Fei Shen covered the distance in 14 hours (12.4 hours excluding breaks) using 97 percent of battery power. The EV's average energy consumption was 212.4 Wh/mile (13.2 kWh/100 kilometers) during the trip, 92% of which was covered in NOP+ (Navigate-on-Pilot) semi-autonomous mode. " Link

    My car 1% grump with auto lane keep and autonmus braking is not ev related. I know a person with a very new Merc that she hates for the same reason. Finding a lot of examples. My main issue is IF i turn this off in the settings it has to be done every time I get in my car. It resets to the settings which is a real PITA and possibly take it back issue for me!

Based on the circumstantial evidence it does look to be the case but there's no way of knowing if the car set the garage alight or the other way around.

    I can't see a reason other than the EV being to blame for trying to divert attention away from it though - that just brings more attention.

    Regardless of this I wouldn't charge an EV in a garage the same as I wouldn't put a home battery setup in my garage. Having said that I don't even charge my power tool batteries unless I'm home and I do that on a steel bench on a concrete floor. I don't even leave anything turned on at the power point switch either apart from the fridge and the Foxtel box.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
