BMW EV Charging Options

White 2022 BMW i4 charging at a charging station

BMW electric vehicles are some of the most innovative on the market, leading to more Cary drivers choosing to ditch their traditional gas engines than ever! That said, owning an electric vehicle, or EV, does change your driving habits. Instead of fueling up at the local Chapel Hill gas station, drivers will need to charge their new BMW models to recover their range. But how does BMW EV home charging work? And what charging levels are available? Have BMW EV charging explained in simple terms in this guide from BMW of Southpoint so you can shop for your next BMW electric car with confidence!


BMW Electric Car Charging Information: Charging Levels

As mentioned, the main difference between traditional combustion-powered vehicles and electric vehicles like the BMW iX is their fuel source. Instead of using gas, EVs use battery packs and electricity to power your Raleigh drives, saving you on fuel costs and reducing your overall emissions. To recover your battery power and driving range, drivers need to charge their BMW EV batteries. Currently, there are three main methods of BMW EV home charging and public charging available:

  • Level 1 Charging: Level 1 charging is one of the most accessible forms of charging, though it is also the slowest. Using a standard 120-volt household outlet, your EV can charge at nearly any plug for an estimated range of four miles per hour of charging.
  • Level 2 Charging: Level 2 charging can be found at home and public charging stations and, depending on the wattage, can offer up to 30 miles of range in one hour. Level 2 charging methods vary the most and can be utilized through 240-volt industrial outlets, professionally installed Level 2 wall chargers, or at selected public EV charging areas.
  • Level 3 Charging/DC Fast Charging: Level 3 charging, also known as DC Fast Charging, is the fastest EV charging method, with some chargers able to add up to 90 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes. DC Fast Charging can only be found at public charging stations, and wattage may vary.

BMW EV Home Charging & Public Charging

To simplify the transition into EV charging, BMW has crafted hassle-free charging solutions for all charging levels, making it easy for drivers to plug in, charge up, and hit the road. When you buy a new BMW electric vehicle, you’ll gain access to:

  • Flexible Fast Charger: The BMW Flexible Fast Charger is included with every new BMW EV purchase, giving you the freedom to plug into any 120-volt or 240-volt household outlet for Level 1 and Level 2 charging.
  • BMW Wallbox: Want the convenience of quick, easy BMW EV home charging? Consider having the available BMW Wallbox installed at home for efficient Level 2 charging at your fingertips.
  • Electrify America DC Charging Network: When you bring home a new BMW EV, you’ll receive a complimentary coast-to-coast public charging plan through Electrify America for convenient on-the-go DC Fast Charging.
