Electric BMW Cars

If electric driving is the future of motoring, that future is now.

With an ever-expanding range of BMW electric cars, there’s never been a better time to buy an all-electric model.

Whether you’re considering a switch to a BMW electric car for the very first time, or planning to upgrade to a new model, the electric BMW range continues to grow, innovate and inspire.

BMW has been right at the forefront of electric driving for some time now. The compact champion BMW i3 was the first BMW to be fitted with an electric motor, launched back in 2013. In the years since, BMW’s technical and engineering excellence has continued to develop at pace. Today, BMW owners and buyers have a stunning choice of pure electric cars, from the BMW i4 Gran Coupé to the stylish SAV model, the BMW iX3.

If you haven’t driven a pure electric BMW car before, you’re in for a genuine treat. The headline benefit of electric driving is efficiency, with zero tailpipe emissions from EV cars equating to a significantly lower impact on the environment; something we all need to take responsibility for.

But, make no mistake, there are other benefits to buying and driving a BMW electric car – and that’s the sheer joy of the driving experience. Fast acceleration, almost immediately from a standing start, thanks to the powerful torque generated by the electric motor. Smooth performance, with no gear changes to navigate, and a close-to-silent dynamic drive. Quiet, impressive power.

The next generation of BMW electric vehicles – featuring BMW’s 5th Generation eDrive technology – was revealed in 2021, delivering further improved performance. This features two high-efficiency electric motors, producing around 500 horsepower and achieving a higher level of drive system efficiency. 5th Generation BMW eDrive technology also includes a high-voltage battery, with state-of-the-art battery technology.

Driving range has also improved significantly, with new BMW electric cars now easily capable of long journeys on a single charge. The BMW i4 has a range of up to 365 miles*, the BMW iX3 up to 282 miles* and the BMW iX xDrive 50 between 365-380 miles*.

The BMW i7, which went into production in 2022 and promises excellent levels of luxury – a 31” theatre screen for rear passengers is available as an option – has a range of up to 387 miles*.

Performance, handling, comfort, style, power and extended driving ranges. BMW electric is here.

How do BMW Electric Cars Work?

Unlike plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), a pure electric BMW doesn’t have a combustion engine to help power it. It only needs an electric engine, or motor so it is a more simple car mechanically. How it works is this.

When the car is connected to the grid via a charger, the battery pack is powered up. The electricity is stored in the batteries, it’s then used to power the electric motor. The motor delivers propulsion, turning the wheels – and acceleration is virtually instant.

When the batteries in a BMW electric car are depleted, they need to be recharged again to restore the energy. The majority of electric car drivers do their charging at home and have a home charge point fitted. So, when you come home after work for example, simply plug your BMW electric car in, and then you’ll be ready to go again the next day. You can learn more about how electric cars work in our blog.

Charging your electric BMW vehicle is simple to do, with a choice of options. Charging times vary depending on the model, but also on the type of charger used.

For example, using a home charger at up to 11 kW, the new BMW iX xDrive50 can recharge its battery from empty to 100% in under 11 hours. Use a DC fast-charging station, and the BMW iX xDrive50 can charge at up to 200 kW. In just 10 minutes of charge, the car’s range can be increased by more than 75 miles. It takes under 40 minutes to increase the battery’s charge to up to 80% of its full capacity.

All BMW electric cars have a BMW charging cable provided. You can plug this in using a 3-pin socket, as you’d find at home. The cable is five metres long, so you can use a household socket, such as one located in your garage, if you have one.

As an option, you can also choose extra charging options. These are a Solo 3 Smart Home Charger, from Pod Point, and a Flexible Charger, which works with home power sockets and industrial power sockets. This delivers a charging speed of up to 11 kW. The Flexible Charger comes as standard with some new models – the BMW iX, iX3, i4.

You can also get a wallbox installed to benefit from better charging speeds. You can arrange this through BMW, who use Pod Point, its official installation partner. The installation is carried out by a certified electrician and includes a three-year warranty.

Besides looking at how you charge, it's essential to think about how much it costs to charge your electric BMW. Some electric companies offer lower rates during specific times, like when there's less demand for electricity. Our guide on BMW electric charging costs shows that you can save more than £20 this way. Don’t have a driveway? Don’t worry. As we explain in our blog here, you can still charge your EV.

In addition to home charging, there is an extensive network of public charging points available throughout the UK. Download the My BMW App among the many functions it offers, it can share all the public charging stations close to you when you’re on the road. Helpfully, it can also check the range of your BMW Electric car.

*These figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. There is a new test for fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures. The electric range shown was achieved using the new test procedure. Figures shown are for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
