How can I optimize the duration of the charging process of my BMW electric vehicle?

The duration of the charging process depends, among other things, on the power of the high-voltage battery of your BMW electric vehicle, any charging losses and the amount of energy required to precondition it for departure. If the high-voltage battery is preheated/precooled and the battery is charged in the range of 10% to 80% of the state of charge, it charges particularly quickly, efficiently and gently.
