At Bill Jacobs BMW, we’re committed to driving the future forward. As electric vehicles (EVs) revolutionize the automotive industry, we’re proud to offer a comprehensive lineup of BMW electric vehicles that combine cutting-edge technology with unparalleled performance. One crucial aspect of owning an electric vehicle is understanding the charging infrastructure available to you. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the three different types of EV chargers and the in-home charging options available with BMW, along with our partnership with Electrify America, empowering you to make informed choices and embrace sustainable driving. BMW Charging offers more than 100,000 convenient charging points and is one of the largest public charging networks in the United States.
Understanding the Three Types of EV Chargers: Level 1, 2, & 3
Level 1 Chargers: These chargers utilize a standard 120-volt household outlet, making them incredibly convenient for at-home charging. While they are the slowest option, they are ideal for overnight charging and are often included with the purchase of your BMW electric vehicle.
Level 2 Chargers: Offering faster charging times than Level 1 chargers, Level 2 chargers operate on a 240-volt system. They are commonly found in public charging stations, workplaces, and can be installed in your home for faster at-home charging.
Level 3 Chargers (DC Fast Chargers): Designed for rapid charging, Level 3 chargers deliver high-voltage DC power directly to your vehicle’s battery. These chargers are typically found at fast-charging stations along highways and major routes, providing quick charging for longer journeys.
Charge your BMW conveniently at home overnight with the Flexible Fast Charger or BMW Wallbox, ensuring you wake up to a fully charged vehicle every morning. Each all-electric BMW includes the portable Flexible Fast Charger, a versatile solution compatible with both 120V household outlets and 240V outlets (adapters included).
The BMW Wallbox, a Level 2 (240V) home charger option, enables you to charge your all-electric BMW at a rapid 9.6 kW speed, achieving 0-100% charge in as little as 12 hours—all from the convenience of your garage.
BMW has partnered with Qmerit to provide Level 2 charging installation for your home. Qmerit makes it easy to get a Level 2 charging station in your home – including a wallbox or a 240V outlet – with quick and convenient EV charger installation services. Begin by filling out Qmerit’s straightforward online home assessment, and we’ll pair you with a certified installer who will assess your project needs and offer a comprehensive proposal.
Experience the convenience of charging your BMW electric vehicle right from the comfort of your home. BMW offers a range of in-home charging solutions tailored to your needs, including:
As part of our commitment to expanding access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure, BMW has partnered with Electrify America, a leading provider of EV charging stations across the United States.
