Home and destination charging (0 → 100 %)

Charging can be done from a regular wall socket or from a dedicated charging station. Public AC charging is always done through a charging station. How quickly the vehicle can charge depends on the charging equipment, cable, connector and the vehicle’s onboard charging capacity. The table below shows the available charging options for BMW i4 eDrive40 from empty to full battery.

Norway

In Norway, both single-phase and three-phase AC connections are used, while three-phase charging is common in private and public charging points. The table below lists the possible charging options for BMW i4 eDrive40, but availability may vary by charging operator, installation and region.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charge point	Max power	Power	Time	Speed
Wall outlet (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	41 h 45 min	13 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	26 h	20 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	13 h	40 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	8 h 45 min	60 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	8 h 45 min	60 km/h

† = Limited by the onboard charger; the vehicle cannot charge faster than this.

Fast charging (10 → 80 %)

Fast charging is used for longer trips and short charging stops. The actual speed depends on charger power, battery temperature, state of charge, battery preconditioning and the vehicle’s charging curve. The table below shows typical 10–80 % fast-charging options for BMW i4 eDrive40 where data is available.

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charge point	Max power	Avg power	Time	Speed
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	50 kW	72 min	300 km/h
CCS (100 kW DC)	100 kW	85 kW †	42 min	520 km/h
CCS (150 kW DC)	150 kW	105 kW †	34 min	640 km/h
CCS (175 kW DC)	175 kW	120 kW †	30 min	730 km/h
CCS (350 kW DC)	205 kW †	130 kW †	28 min	780 km/h

† = Limited by the vehicle’s maximum DC charging capability.

Long-distance suitability

Long-distance suitability is not determined by range alone. Charging speed is almost as important. Battery capacity, efficiency and fast-charging performance together decide how useful an electric vehicle is on longer trips.

To make vehicles easier to compare, Elbil RADAR uses a method called “1-stop range”. It combines driving range and charging performance and estimates how far the vehicle can travel with one 15-minute charging stop. The result is converted into a 0–5 star rating.
