A Guide to Home Charging for BMW EVs

With all the new BMW EV models arriving in our showroom, our team has been receiving many questions about how charging works. Setting up a system for BMW EV charging at your home guarantees that your vehicle is fully energized and ready to go every morning. Learn how to set up your home charging solution with BMW of Wesley Chapel.

Standard Level 1 Charging

The most basic residential charging method utilizes the standard 120-volt household outlets that are already present in your garage. Every new electric BMW model includes a portable flexible fast charging cable that plugs directly into your power outlet without requiring any panel modifications. While this option is great for overnight top-offs, it offers a slow replenishment rate of three to five miles of range per hour. Level 1 is a good option for drivers with short daily commutes and who can leave their vehicle plugged in overnight.

Level 2 Wallbox™ Installations

If you need faster home charging, upgrading to a 240-volt Level 2 charger is a must. Installation of an OEM BMW Wallbox™ charger delivers up to 9.6 kilowatts of power, recovering up to 30 miles of driving range for every hour connected. This quick charging capacity allows you to replenish a depleted high-voltage battery pack from empty to full in under 12 hours overnight. Additionally, you can integrate this system with your My BMW App®, which allows you to schedule charging during off-peak utility hours.
