Every electric BMW model can charge at three different types of ports – Level 1, 2, and 3 – for increased battery life at home and on the go.
Any outlet, including standard home outlets, can provide Level 1 charging to your EV and add up to four miles to your battery in one hour.2
Connect to these chargers in public and install them at home. A Level 2 connection can boost your battery by 30 miles in one hour.2
Also known as DC charging, Level 3 is fast, found only at public stations, and can add up to 90 miles to your battery per 10 minutes of charging.2
All new BMW EVs come with a free portable charging cable called a Flexible Fast Charger. This versatile device is compatible with standard 120-volt and 240-volt household outlets and includes adapters, so you can plug into Level 1 or Level 2 chargers just about anywhere. If connected to a 240-volt outlet, your Flexible Fast Charger can replenish a fully drained BMW EV battery to 100% in under 12 hours.2
One additional purchase we highly recommend you make alongside your BMW EV is a wallbox charger. As its name suggests, this weatherproof charger can be mounted on the exterior wall of your home or inside your garage. It operates at a 240-volt capacity and can raise your electric vehicle's battery life from 0% to 100% in as little as 12 hours.2 The best part about a wallbox charger is that it's almost automatic: Plug in your BMW EV each evening, then forget it until morning.
BMW EVs have a partnership with Qmerit, one of our nation’s largest EV solutions providers. By scheduling a Qmerit technician to visit your home, you can quickly and easily have a 240-volt outlet, a wallbox, or both installed by a professional – no stress, total convenience. An online Qmerit home assessment will match you with a certified installer, and you can even opt for Qmerit concierge installation service for step-by-step guidance through the entire process.
Did you know that electric BMW vehicles can charge just about anywhere in North America, including EV-equipped hotels, offices, and restaurants? Some grocery store parking lots have a bank of EV chargers, too, and stations created specifically for electrified automobiles are generously sprinkled across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In fact, more than 200,000 public charging ports exist in North America, and that number will only continue to grow.3 Anytime you're on the road, be it for work or pleasure, you can stop at any of the following stations to "refuel" your EV battery:
Of the 200,000 available public charging ports, you might be wondering how many are Level 2 and how many are Level 3 DC fast-chargers. As of January 1, 2026, the Alternative Fuels Data Center notes that there are 67,916 DC fast-charging ports in 14,600 locations throughout the U.S., a 33% increase since January 1, 2025.4 AFDC data also indicates that an average of 46.5 new public charging stalls are added every day.4 Wondering how these numbers would affect your day-to-day EV experience?
As of September 2025, the state of Georgia had more than 2,200 public EV charging stations, a number that translates to more than 56 chargers and nearly 20 stations for every 100,000 residents.4
Connect your BMW to your world through the new My BMW App.
If you're a smartphone user, charging becomes even easier thanks to the MyBMW app. Download the app to locate and plan routes to nearby public charging stations and keep tabs on your EV's battery percentage and range. The MyBMW app also lets you schedule charging times, so evening at-home fuel-ups become automatic. When you're charging in public, the app even monitors your battery's progress. It's free to install on your compatible Apple® or Android™ device, and creating an account takes just a few minutes.
1Estimated ranges are attainable when fully charged under ideal driving conditions. Actual range will vary depending on multiple factors, including but not limited to: vehicle model, tire and wheel selection, driving style, traffic conditions, and outside temperatures. Some vehicles may not be fully certified by the EPA and US Department of Energy. In this case, the range is an estimate according to preliminary BMW AG tests based on the EPA's test procedure standards. For EPA certification status and additional information about specific models, visit www.fueleconomy.gov.
2Charge speed measured at maximum vehicle charging rate. Actual charge speed will vary depending on parameters such as battery state of charge when charging is initiated, battery temperature and maximum charging rate of the charging supply, for example.
