In the 4+ years I've had my i3 Rex, I seemed to hear about how good the battery management system is on the i3, yet according to this recent article the i3 was the worst of the 5 tested vehicles which were mostly 2018 models.

I certainly didn't expect these results. Have the other car makers surpassed BMW in this regard? Any other explanations, etc. out there?

From the article:
The BMW i3 was most sensitive to temperature change in both hot and cold conditions, losing 50% and 21% of range in cold and hot conditions, respectively. The Nissan Leaf was the most temperature-resistant, losing 31% and 11% of range in cold and hot conditions, respectively.
I certainly didn't expect these results. Have the other car makers surpassed BMW in this regard? Any other explanations, etc. out there?
