In the spirit of being prepared and understanding what the car can do at the low end of the battery capacity, I am taking the last 12% of battery capacity on a ride. The idea is to drive until the infamous turtle mode kicks in, and it's time to bail out. We then look at how much we have driven, whether there is any state of charge left in the battery, and how much energy we have used up to that turtle mode point. does the car slow down, can you still drive to a charging point?

![BMW iX1 eDrive20: The verdict after 2-day, 550km test trip!
Today were driving the BMW iX1 eDrive20 to the coast of Norfolk, UK where we might catch some of the local fauna. This 550km return trip over 2 days is a perfect set-up for testing the car in real life. Its a rare thing to spend more than 8h in a car over just a week-end, so if that can happen without much fuss, then that means that this car can handle a lot of real-life driving situations. And it should! Because its not a small city car, nor is it a cheap one for that matter.
Along the way, we check out efficiency on the motorway, with both tailwind on the inbound journey and headwind on the way back. We get a sense of the car refinement too. Is the eDrive 20 powerful enough? Does it accelerate well? How does it feel in the cabin, using the infotainment and the screens on a day to day basis? We cover all of this in here.
