What are My Charging Options?

Before getting into the BMW i4 charging time, it’s essential to know your charging options, which affect your charging time. Below is a look at the most common types of EV charging:

  1. Domestic Outlet Home Charging (Regular Outlet): This is a standard grounded (three-prong) 110V/120V charging outlet (LBMW i4el 1 Charging) that doesn’t provide fast charging, but it’s a good option for topping off the charges used to get you to work or run a few errands. 
  2. Installed Brand-Approved Domestic Charging: BMW i4 Level 2 Charging is often professionally installed in your home garage near Serramonte. It uses rapid (usually 240V+) chargers with much faster-charging rates than a regular grounded household outlet offers. We’re talking hours, not days!
  3. Public Charging: If you’re on the go around South San Francisco, you can charge on the go at public charging stations. Some public chargers offer emissions-free renewable energy charging with solar panels or wind turbines!
