BMW IX ROAD TRIP TO SAN DIEGO! INSANE EFFICIENCY & COMFORT LET DOWN BY CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE

EV Channels Review

Kyle embarks on an ambitious 1,200-mile road trip in the BMW iX M60 from Colorado to San Diego, highlighting the vehicle's exceptional comfort and surprisingly strong efficiency. Despite its EPA rating, the iX M60 consistently delivered impressive real-world range, often surpassing expectations, especially when driven in efficiency mode. The reviewer praises the SUV's luxurious interior, quiet cabin, and smooth ride, making it an ideal long-distance cruiser. However, the M60 trim's 'M' badge is questioned for its performance capabilities, which, while capable, are deemed not quite worthy of the designation due to the vehicle's substantial weight. The primary detractor throughout the journey was the unreliable and often malfunctioning Electrify America charging infrastructure, which frequently caused delays and frustration, significantly impacting the overall road trip experience. The car's internal navigation and charging planning also showed room for improvement compared to competitors. Despite these charging woes, the iX M60 itself is lauded for its comfort and range.
