Indication of real-world range in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. For 'Highway' figures a constant speed of 110 km/h is assumed. The actual range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather and route conditions.

TEL = Test Energy Low | TEH = Test Energy High Rated = official figures as published by manufacturer. Rated consumption and fuel equivalency figures include charging losses. Vehicle = calculated battery energy consumption used by the vehicle for propulsion and on-board systems.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the BMW i4 eDrive40 Long Range Dual Motor. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the BMW i4 eDrive40 Long Range Dual Motor can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
Charging Point		Max.Power		Power		Time		Rate
Wall Plug(2.3 kW)		230V / 1x10A		2.3 kW		41h30m		12 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)		230V / 1x16A		3.7 kW		25h45m		20 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)		230V / 1x32A		7.4 kW		13 hours		40 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)		400V / 3x16A		11 kW		8h45m		59 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)		400V / 3x16A		11 kW †		8h45m		59 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the BMW i4 eDrive40.

• Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
• Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
• Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
• Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

This vehicle supports Autocharge This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations. Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118. Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.
