How long does it take to charge a BMW I4?

I’m thinking about getting a new BMW I4, but it would be my first electric car. I don’t know anything about charging and want to be prepared before I jump on the EV bandwagon. How long will it take to charge a BMW I4?

Switching over from gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles is a big move—but we’re here to help answer your questions! The
BMW
I4 charging time depends on which type of charger you use, but it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 56 hours to go from zero percent to fully charged.
Here’s a breakdown of charging times based on different charger levels:
  • Level 1 Charger: Up to 56 hours
  • Level 2 Charger: 4 to 10 hours
  • Level 3 Charger: 45 minutes
If you don’t know the difference between level 1, level 2, or level 3 chargers, it’s pretty simple. Level 1 chargers are the slowest, and these plug into standard 120V outlets, like those found in your home. Level 2 chargers make up many of the public charging stations and provide 208 to 240V. Level 3 chargers, also known as direct current fast chargers, provide 400V to 900V.
