The BMW i4 is a fully-electric gran coupe, part of the next generation of BMW hybrid and electric vehicles. It offers powerful performance specs, advanced technology, and a smooth ride around Mamaroneck and beyond! The BMW i4 range maxes out at an impressive 301 miles for the eDrive 40 models, and delivers up to 536 horsepower on the road depending on the model you choose. But what is the average BMW i4 charging time? The team at BMW of Mamaroneck has all the details on the BMW i4 charging speed, performance specs, and more in the guide below!

BMW i4 Charging Speed Options

The answer to the question of the BMW i4 charging speed depends on the level of charging you’re using. There are three total levels, two of which are optimized for home charging and one of which can generally only be used in public. They each offer a different charging time, which we’ll discuss below. In the meantime, here are some details on the three charging levels:

  • Level 1 – Domestic Outlet Home Charging: Level 1 charging uses the same three-prong outlets you use to power everything from your lights to your microwave. While these outlets are the most common, they also deliver the slowest charging speed because they’re not typically used to recharge something as large as a car.
  • Level 2 – Installed Brand-Approved Domestic Charging: Level 2 charging is the most common type of charging used by EV drivers. A Level 2 charging station has to be professionally installed in your home by an electrician. This charger uses 240v charging rather than 120v as used by Level 1 chargers.
  • Level 3 – DC Fast Charging: These chargers are also called rapid charging stations. They use direct current (DC) charging and can be found in parking garages, malls, hotels, and even big-box stores like Walgreens and Kohls! 

Typical BMW i4 Charging Time

Charging speeds for EVs vary a bit based on the size of the battery as well as the make and model, but here are the average expected charging times for the BMW i4:

  • Level 1 Charging (120V/1.2kW): 1-100% charge in around 100 hours
  • Level 2 Charging (240V/11kW): 0-100% charge in around 8.25 hours
  • Level 3 Charging/DC Fast Charging (195 kW): 10-80% charge in around 31 minutes
