The standard charging cable with a 2.3 kW capacity is often supplied as standard with your electric BMW.* Five metres in length, it generally ensures access to a domestic socket. Use of an extension cable and multi-plug connectors is prohibited. A charging rate of 1.3 kW at 6 A is set as the default. You can either switch this limit on current off entirely in the vehicle settings menu or set the AC charging current to the precise amperage and according to your electrical installation.

A Wallbox is an especially convenient, fast and safe way to charge that shortens the process considerably when compared with a domestic mains socket. Two models are available:

BMW WALLBOX ESSENTIAL.

Up to 22 kW charging capacity, weatherproof reduced design, integrated cable management

SMART WALLBOX.

The Smart Wallbox from our partner provides extended functions for connectivity and intelligent control of charging at home.

In addition, it is quite straightforward to book an installation service along with your Wallbox or conclude a special green electricity contract for charging your vehicle. Your BMW partner will be pleased to give you advice – on the tailor-made packages available as well.

Before selecting a home charging solution, you should check the connection conditions of the power company providing electricity to your home.

Yes of course. Simply use the steadily expanding public network of BMW Charging or other charging stations as available, such as from your employer. The My BMW App* or the navigation system in your vehicle shows you public charge points in the vicinity. You will also find a map with the public charging infrastructure at www.bmw-charging.com or via BMW Charging App. Attractive public charging tariffs and personalised offers are available exclusively to BMW customers.

Through public charging, the steadily expanding public network of BMW Charging means that you not only have charging stations from a wide range of operators at your disposal in inner city areas or in car parks but also high-power charging stations for your electric car on motorways, such as those of our partner IONITY in Europe. Get detailed information on the availability of public charging infrastructure – the best way is to visit www.bmw-charging.com or simply display the public charging stations via the navigation system or the My BMW App*. Incidentally, the BMW Charging App is also available to you as a portal for public charging.

You can set the navigation system to filter charging stations according to whether they offer alternating current (AC), direct current (DC) or high-power charging (HPC). Or you can set it to only display public charging stations with a verified quality and availability status (“Preferred”). A suitable charging station will displayed directly in the navigation system of your vehicle or via the My BMW App* – each with identification of the charge points and with extended functionalities such as points of interest as well as status and additional information on the individual charging stations.

This is very straightforward using the My BMW App* on your smartphone or you can check the current charge level and available range of your BMW electric car and plug-in hybrid in the vehicle itself.

The ideal charge level is between 20 percent and 80 percent. Although lower or higher charge levels are possible, the range between 20% and 80% is recommended for optimising the life of your battery. In your vehicle menu, you can easily and conveniently set your charging target at 80 percent and don't have to worry about anything else.

A charging target of 80 percent covers all of your everyday routes. If you do actually need greater range occasionally, you can simply set a higher charging target.

As its name suggests, a plug-in hybrid can be charged from a socket, a Wallbox or at a public charging station. The maximum efficiency of a plug-in hybrid is achieved with a fully charged battery; which means that a charging facility should be available at home and at the workplace. Charge your BMW plug-in hybrid as often as possible so that you can always make full use of the additional electric drive.
