I am one of the first owners since 2014 and still fully enjoy this vehicle, even though BMW had one of the worst go to market and the experience for early adaptors was questionable.... but I digress. Once you put it in Sport mode the battery charges rather quickly, up to 85 percent. I have yet to get to a point where I don't have the boost required when driving around in either mode unless I use battery only to go to and from work. I easily do over 500 or more miles before refilling on gasoline over all these years.

In order to maintain battery level go into the iDrive under battery management. You can chose a level of battery you want to conserve for later use, but I honestly don't bother with it.
