Impressive Range, Smart Charging
With a substantial 80.7 kWh battery, the BMW i4 eDrive40/M50 delivers impressive real-world range that makes range anxiety a thing of the past. However, larger batteries require more thoughtful charging strategies to optimise your time and costs.
A 7.4kW home wallbox will charge the BMW i4 eDrive40/M50 from 10% to 80% in approximately 8h 29m — ideal for overnight sessions. For road trips, a 50kW DC rapid charger brings the same charge in around 1h 15m. Ultra-rapid chargers (150kW) are recommended for longer journeys, delivering 10–80% in approximately 25 min.
Charging Tip
For the BMW i4 eDrive40/M50, we recommend an 11kW or 22kW home wallbox to take full advantage of the larger battery. DC fast charging above 80% slows significantly — plan to charge to 80% and continue your journey.
