How to Charge the 2024 BMW i4

Driving a 2024 BMW i4 is an excellent experience, but it can also be confusing for an EV newbie. If you’re not familiar with the BMW i4 or electric vehicles in general, you might be worried about charging the vehicle. Thankfully, Serra BMW of Champaign is here to teach you how to charge a 2024 BMW i4 correctly.

How to Charge the 2024 BMW i4

The 2024 BMW i4 is built on the CCS charging standard, which is commonly seen at charging stations across the nation. When you approach the station, you’ll first be asked to insert the cord into your car’s power supply.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll usually be asked to initiate a payment. Once that’s gone through, the vehicle will begin charging.

Another option is to install a home charger. BMW can help set this up for you; with it, you can easily plug in your car and begin charging immediately.

Changing Charging Times

Thanks to the onboard fast charger, the 2024 BMW i4 can be charged up in no time. The 50-kW charging rate can bring your vehicle to 80% charge in just over an hour; beyond this, the 22-kW or 7-kW modes will kick in.

Alternatively, you can choose to charge your car at a slower rate for a more even distribution of power. This is recommended if you’re not planning to drive the vehicle for eight hours or more.
