I am considering purchasing a BMW i5, but I am concerned about how long it takes to charge the battery. Can someone with experience give me an estimate of the charging time and any tips for maximizing charging efficiency?
ReplyFrom my experience, charging the BMW i5 battery takes the same amount of time as charging any other electric vehicle. It typically takes around 8 hours to fully charge the battery using a standard home charging station. However, if you invest in a Level 2 charger, you can cut down the charging time to around 4 hours.
I have found that the charging time also depends on the current charge level of the battery. If you keep the battery at a higher charge level, it may take longer to fully charge it. I recommend keeping the battery between 20-80% for optimal charging efficiency.
Another way to reduce charging time is by using a DC fast charger, which can charge the battery up to 80% in just 30 minutes. However, these chargers are not as widely available as Level 2 chargers and may cost more to use.
