Charging
BMW's charging network is one of the largest public charging networks in North America, now including Tesla Superchargers. BMW drivers enjoy complimentary charging on Electrify America's network and Plug & Charge for instant authentication at Electrify America, IONNA, and Tesla Supercharger stations.
IONNA discount: Until September 30, 2026, BMW drivers who start a charge via Plug & Charge or the My BMW App at IONNA automatically receive 20% off their charging session. After that date, an ongoing 10% discount applies. A Shell Recharge account (via the My BMW App or Plug & Charge) is required; the discount does not apply if a credit card is used at the station.
All BMW ChargingNetwork providers — including Electrify America, Shell Recharge, IONNA, Tesla Superchargers, EVgo, and ChargePoint — are integrated into the My BMW App for seamless access across the network.
Home Charging
Every all-electric BMW comes standard with a Flexible Fast Charger, compatible with any 120V household outlet or 240V outlet (adapters included), allowing a full charge overnight. For added convenience, the available BMW Wallbox is a Level 2 charger that can be installed in a garage or outdoors for faster charging. Charging partner Qmerit offers complimentary concierge installation service for BMW EV drivers.
ChargeForward
Through the ChargeForward program, drivers can earn money by smart-charging their BMW at times when local grid carbon emissions are lower. Enrollment is done through the My BMW App using a BMW ID, after setting an intended departure time and desired battery level.
More Reasons to Go Electric
- No more gas stations: Overnight home charging with the BMW Wallbox means never stopping at a gas station again.
- Less routine maintenance: Fewer moving parts and fluids to replace over the vehicle's lifespan translate into time and cost savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of the BMW i4?
Under ideal conditions, the BMW i4 Gran Coupe offers 307–333 miles of range for the eDrive40, 268–287 miles for the xDrive40, and 232–278 miles for the M60.
Does the BMW i4 have regenerative braking?
Yes. The i4 Gran Coupe features two Energy Recuperation Modes. Drive position "D" gives a seamless feel similar to a gas-powered vehicle, with sensors dynamically adjusting the level of recuperation. Active driving position "B" delivers the maximum recuperation each time the accelerator is released, allowing for minimal use of the brake pedal in urban traffic.
How long does a BMW i4 take to charge?
Using a 240V outlet with the standard Flexible Fast Charger or the available BMW Wallbox, the i4 can charge from 0–100% in under ten hours. With a public DC Fast Charger, just 10 minutes of charging adds about 108 miles of range to the eDrive40, or 88 miles to the xDrive40 and M60.
Is the BMW i4 all-wheel drive?
The i4 xDrive40 and i4 M60 are all-wheel drive, with dual electric motors powering all four wheels independently. The i4 eDrive40 is rear-wheel drive, preserving the classic sporty feel of a BMW Gran Coupe.
What is the battery warranty for the BMW i4?
Every BMW electric vehicle includes an 8-year/100,000-mile limited defect warranty for the high-voltage (HV traction) battery. For 2026 model-year BEVs, the HV battery cell modules are also separately covered against capacity loss below 70% state of health for the same 8-year/100,000-mile period.
Do wheel and tire sizes affect the range on my i4?
Yes. Wheel size and design, along with tire type and width, affect electric range — an aerodynamic wheel paired with a lower-rolling-resistance tire increases range. Different combinations can be explored in Build Your Own or through a local BMW Center.
