REAL EV DRIVERS SHARE THEIR STORIES

John's life, in charge.

As a former aerospace engineer, John recognizes great engineering when he sees it.

Former aerospace engineer based in Southern California

"The engineering of the car has a huge impact on why I bought it," he explains of his i5 M60. Even his grandchildren, who frequent the front seat, can testify to the vehicle's impeccable performance. Their number one request is for John to activate SPORT Mode, a performance-oriented setting that thrills drivers and passengers alike.

Electrifying pride. As someone who drives around 100 miles a day, John takes pride in his decision to go all-electric. "Owning an electric car makes me feel like I'm doing my part."

An easy transition. Though John acknowledges some drivers may be apprehensive to make the switch to an 100% electric vehicle, he found the transition to be an easy one. He likens charging his i5 overnight to other habits he doesn't think twice about, like charging his cell phone.

"To me, the best thing about owning an electric car is driving past every gas station you ever see."

DAVID GOES THE DISTANCE

Tech that empowers.

As an electrical engineer naturally drawn to data and figures, David playfully jokes his BMW i4 gives him the chance to "nerd out." It's the far-reaching range, however, that's made a lasting impression.

SIMONE CHASES HER DREAMS

Moving originality.

Reliable, safe, and luxurious. Those were the criteria Simone had as she searched for an electric vehicle. "I didn't want to drive an EV that everyone else was driving. I wanted something different.” When the i4 made its debut, she knew she met her match.
