FAQS

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT CHARGING

How Charging Works

Do I need special equipment to charge my BMW electrified vehicle?

Every BMW iX and BMW i4 comes equipped with the new Flexible Fast Charger. This portable device, compatible with any 120V or 240V outlet, delivers optimized charging wherever you go. You can charge from 0–100% in under 12 hours at a 240V outlet.

The optional BMW Wallbox is the ultimate in electric convenience. With its robust and weather-proof design, it can be installed in your garage or outdoors and delivers Level 2 charging at 9.6 kW charging speeds (~28 miles per hour of charging, reaching its full charge in approximately 12 hours).

When charging at public charging stations, no additional equipment is required. The standardized charging system in North America is called CCS (for DC Fast Charging) and J1772 (for L2 charging).

All public charging stations that have a CCS or J1772 plug are available to you. Your BMW’s navigation, as well as the MyBMW App, will show you public charging stations equipped with CCS/J1772 plugs.

How can I have a BMW Wallbox or a 240V outlet installed at home, and what is the electrical requirement?

Your dealer can recommend a local installation service, so that your electrical service can be inspected, and if needed, an upgrade will be recommended. You can also use the services of BMW’s trusted installation partner Qmerit.

Can I initiate charging remotely?

When charging at home, the MyBMW App allows you to set your departure time and your car will charge accordingly. You can also pre-condition your vehicle to ensure your cabin climate is comfortable and battery temperature is optimized before departure.

How long does it take to charge an electric BMW at a public charging station?

Charging time at a public charging station is determined by battery size, maximum charging output and the remaining charge left in the battery when you plug in your vehicle. For electric vehicles, home charging and Level 2 public charging generally takes more time than with DC Fast Charging public stations.

For example, a BMW iX can charge up to 30 miles in 1 hour with a Level 2 (AC) public charger. In just ten minutes, a DC Fast Charger can give you a range of 108 miles.

Do electric and plug-in hybrid BMWs charge while driving?

Both electric and plug-in hybrid BMWs can also charge while driving, thanks to regenerative braking technology, which allows the vehicle to recoup part of its energy during deceleration and braking.

How often should I charge my electric BMW? Do I always need to charge it up to 100% or can I charge it halfway?

Similar to your cell phone, charging up your electric BMW before a day’s use is simple.

The amount of miles you drive daily will determine how much charging you will need. There is no need to charge the battery up to 100% every night – unless you have to rely on the entire driving range of your vehicle. Staying between 20% to 80% battery capacity should leave you with enough driving miles.

All BMWs have a preconditioning function, which allows you to further optimize battery efficiency. From the MyBMW App, you can precondition your vehicle, which warms up both the cabin and the battery. The vehicle should be plugged in while preconditioning.

When not driving your electric BMW for a week or more at a time, leave the battery between 20% and 80% charged.

Keep in mind that how often and how long you should charge your electric BMW depends in part on what kind of home charging option you have and your daily driving needs. If you have convenient access to workplace charging, that may also impact whether you choose to charge your electric BMW fully every night.

What is the cheapest time of day to charge an electric vehicle?

The electricity price varies depending on the time of day. Many electricity providers offer discounted charging rates if you charge the battery at times of low demand. This utilizes excess electricity at night that can’t otherwise be stored temporarily. Check with your utility company to find out more about their peak vs. off-peak rates. Rates differ depending on the utility company you choose.

Why is the charging time listed as 0-80% state of charge and not to 100% state of charge?

Batteries charge more quickly from 0-80% battery charge. After 80% battery capacity has been reached, charging speeds slow down.

Vehicle Range

How far can I go on a single charge with the BMW all-electric models?

How far you can go on a single charge will vary based on the vehicle’s battery capacity, driving conditions, your driving style, and charging habits.

Estimated electric ranges:
BMW iX xDrive50: up to 324 miles
BMW i4 eDrive40: up to 301 miles
BMW i4 M50: up to 270 miles

How do extreme temperatures affect the range of my electric BMW?

Climate affects your battery performance, but there are ways to counteract this. Batteries work more efficiently under optimized temperatures. Energy you use for cabin climate control comes from the battery. Therefore, preconditioning with the MyBMW app not only makes the cabin temperature optimized for you, it will optimize the battery temperature as well.

How does my driving style affect the range of my BMW electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid?

As is the case for a vehicle with an internal combustion engine driving style also affects the range of an electric car. As a general rule, an anticipatory, relaxed, and uniform style of driving optimizes your range. Just as faster, more aggressive driving will use more gas, it will also use up more of your battery’s energy.
