Thank you all for your kind words and suggestions.
Yes, I tried the Max Range mode, but on my car, it is limited to 60 mph, which wasn't good in the fast part of stop and go traffic. It would be great off the freeway, though.
This was definitely a lesson learned for me. I was reminded of a social media vignette featuring a guy using a gasoline generator to charge his Tesla. lol It looks like I need to invest in such a generator for times like this.
Or I could just get an ICE or hybrid car and wait a decade or so until battery technology matches or exceeds ICE range today.
I'll let you know what happens in the end, but I'm definitely not happy with the i5 experience now that I realize how much more limiting it is than my previous 540i.
