Frequently asked questions.
How long does it take to charge a BMW i4 eDrive40?
A BMW i4 eDrive40 with its 81.5 kWh battery takes approximately 9 hours from 0-100% on a 7.6 kW Level 2 charger. On a 50 kW DC fast charger, a 10-80% charge takes about 68 minutes. Use the calculator above to get exact times for your specific charging setup.
Can the BMW i4 eDrive40 use a Level 2 charger?
Yes — all BMW i4 eDrive40 models support Level 2 AC charging via the CCS connector. A 7.6 kW Level 2 charger is the most common home installation and provides a full charge overnight.
What is the max fast charging speed for the BMW i4 eDrive40?
The BMW i4 eDrive40 supports DC fast charging up to 205 kW. At this peak speed, a 10-80% charge takes approximately 17 minutes under optimal conditions (temperature, state of charge, etc.).
How much range does the BMW i4 eDrive40 gain per hour of charging?
On a 7.6 kW Level 2 charger, the BMW i4 eDrive40 gains approximately 28 miles of range per hour. On a 205 kW DC fast charger, this jumps to roughly 757 miles per hour.
Should I charge the BMW i4 eDrive40 to 100%?
For daily driving, charging to 80% preserves long-term battery health. The final 20% charges at a much slower rate due to the battery management system tapering power. Save 100% charges for road trips where you need maximum range.
