How can I charge my BMW electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle at home?

BMW of North America offers two solutions to charge your electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle at home:
 

  1. The Flexible Fast Charger and the NEMA 14-50 adapter come standard with BMW All-Electric vehicles (BMW iX, i4, i5, and i7 models). The Flexible Fast Charger also comes standard with BMW Plug-in Hybrid vehicles, however, the NEMA 14-50 must be purchased separately. When connected to a 240V, 40A circuit, using the NEMA14-50 adapter, battery BMW electric vehicles can charge at up to 9.6kW (enough to fully charge your vehicle overnight). Plug-in Hybrid BMW vehicles can charge at a rate of 7.4kW.

  2. The BMW Wallbox delivers Level 2 charging of up to 9.6 kW charging speed.  With its robust and weather-proof design, the BMW Wallbox can be installed in your garage or outdoors.  In addition to its space-saving, compact dimensions, the Wallbox also delivers convenient cable management, including 25 feet of cable, connector, and wall holders. 

  3. Any home charging solutions require installation by a certified electrician.
