BMW home charging requirements
Every BMW electric model we cover, with the charger amperage its onboard charger accepts and the circuit that needs. A larger charger will not charge these cars any faster. Where a model's answer changed between years or trims, its page lists each version.
| Model | Years | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMW i4 | 2022-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| BMW i5 | 2024-2027 | 48 A | 60 A |
| BMW i7 | 2023-2027 | 48 A | 60 A |
| BMW iX | 2022-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
Chargers for BMW owners
