How long each charger takes

Slower on the BMW i5
Empty to full; a shorter bar is faster. Indicative figures: the car's own charging limit varies by variant and model year, so check your owner's manual before you order.
What your home needs
Three phase for the full 11 kW
The BMW i5 reaches its full speed only on a three-phase connection. On single phase it still charges, more slowly.
Enough sanctioned load
Your electricity bill shows it. The charger needs room for its own power on top of what the house already uses.
A fixed parking spot
A wall charger goes on the nearest wall and a portable one needs a socket within reach. How installation works
Questions BMW i5 owners ask
Will a bigger charger charge my BMW i5 faster?
No. The car sets the top speed, and the BMW i5 takes up to 11 kW from a home charger. A larger charger works, but it charges the car at the car's own limit.
Can I charge the BMW i5 from a normal 16 A socket?
Yes, with a 3.6 kW portable charger. It is the slowest way to charge, so it suits overnight top-ups and travel.
Wall charger or portable?
At the same power both charge the BMW i5 at the same speed. A wall charger stays fixed at your parking spot; a portable one plugs into a socket and travels with the car. Read the guide
