I am looking to buy a 120 Ah I3. I live in the UK.
I am aware that the auxiliary cabin heating will heat up the vehicle before setting off (whilst connected to your home charging unit). My BMW garage says that this added extra will improve battery efficiency by up to 30%. The sales assistant talked about a heat pump but could not explain the dramatic improvement in battery efficiency. Is this for example in use during travel?
30% is a lot so this seems an essential extra and I wold be grateful for comments and some technical advice if possible.
