THE CHARGING TIMES OF ELECTRIC CARS.
Charging your electric car at high-power charging stations is the fastest method. Thanks to their high charging power, these stations offer very short charging times. For instance, a BMW i5 needs to charge for just 10 minutes to gain 146 to 196 kilometres. With the BMW Wallbox or BMW Flexible Fast Charger, a BMW i5 can be fully charged conveniently at home in 8:30 hours.

Public Charging
Fast charging station
If you need to act quickly in the city or while travelling, a fast charging station is just the right choice. This is because the direct current (DC) provided at these stations offers higher charging capacities than with alternating current (AC), such as that supplied, for example, by a domestic socket. This is why fast charging stations such as these are especially suitable for charging when you are travelling. In the display, you can see the minimum time needed to charge from 10 to 80% of the battery charge level with up to 50 kW output. Within this range, charging is fastest and also preserves the battery. A look at the map shows you all fast charging station within the BMW Charging network.
AC charging station
You will find public charging stations with alternating current (AC) almost everywhere. They are especially suitable for regular charging over longer periods of time – such as overnight or while you are at work. In the display, you will find the minimum time for charging from 0-100% battery charge level with a maximum output of 22 kW. The charging performance depends on the equipment options for the vehicle. Take a look at the map and discover all the charging stations with alternating current in the BMW Charging network.
Home Charging
Wallbox / Flexible Fast Charger
At home you can charge your vehicle with a wallbox or the Flexible Fast Charger. Alternating current (AC) is used for both. Depending on the vehicle, special equipment and market, the wallbox provides a maximum charging output of 22 kW, the Flexible Fast Charger a maximum of 11 kW. In the display, you will see the minimum time for charging from 0-100% battery charge level with an output of 11 kW.

The charging capacity depends on the charge level, ambient temperature, individual driving profile and use of auxiliary devices as well as the actual vehicle selected. The charging times apply to ambient temperatures of 23 °C following a prior journey and may deviate according to usage characteristics.

HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY AN ELECTRIC CAR NEEDS.
The power consumption of an electric car depends on various factors. The outside temperature and your own driving style – your average speed, for example – play a decisive role here. The costs involved depend on the consumption of the electric vehicle, the selected charging tariff, and the charging location. You also benefit from the BMW Charging extended charging network and attractive tariffs, such as the Active tariff with especially low fixed prices. For BMW customers with new vehicles, the first year is completely free with no standing charge.

OPTIMISING THE LIFE OF YOUR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERY.
The service life of a high-voltage battery can be affected by your own usage habits. Your high-voltage battery should mainly be charged at a low charging power at AC charging stations or at a wallbox. For general use, it makes sense to run your car with a battery charge of between 10% and 80%. You can set a charging target of 80% for this. An efficient and anticipatory driving style also helps to increase the range of the battery and optimise its service life.
HOW TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE SERVICE LIFE OF YOUR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERY.
Find out how the battery and electric motor of an electric car work. How you can positively influence the life of the high-voltage battery. And how quietly and powerfully an electric car accelerates and cleverly recovers energy when you brake.

[1] Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195.
