Your dealer can recommend a local installation service, so that your electrical service can be inspected, and if needed, an upgrade will be recommended. You can also use the services of BMW’s trusted installation partner Qmerit.

Charging time at a public charging station is determined by battery size, maximum charging output and the remaining charge left in the battery when you plug in your vehicle. For electric vehicles, home charging and Level 2 public charging generally takes more time than with DC Fast Charging public stations.
For example, a BMW i4 can charge up to about 30 miles in 1 hour with a Level 2 (AC) public charger. In just ten minutes, a DC Fast Charger can give you a range of about 100 miles.
