BMW home EV chargers
Find home charger options for BMW electric vehicles including the i4 and iX3.
BMW's Australian battery-electric range includes models across several vehicle sizes and body styles, including the iX1, iX2, i4 and i5. BMW electric vehicles use Type 2 for AC charging.
Maximum home AC charging power is model-dependent. Australian BMW i4 and i5 documentation supports 11 kW AC charging, while capability can differ on other current BMW models and configurations. A wallbox should therefore be chosen for the exact vehicle rather than from the BMW brand alone.
Home electrical supply is equally important. Single- or three-phase supply, available circuit capacity, parking position, cable requirements and optional solar or load-management features can all affect the most suitable installation.

The right home charger depends on your exact EV, home electrical supply, solar setup and charging needs. Tell us about your vehicle and home to get a tailored recommendation.
BMW EV charging FAQs
What AC connector do BMW EVs use for home charging?
Current BMW battery-electric vehicles use a Type 2 connection for AC charging. A tethered wallbox has its own cable, while a socketed charger requires a suitable Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable.
How do I choose a home charger for my BMW?
Check the maximum AC charging rate of the exact BMW model and configuration, then match the wallbox to the property's electrical supply and available circuit capacity. Cable length, parking location, solar charging, load management and budget may also affect the choice. Use Find My Charger to assess the full setup.
Will a standard Type 2 home charger work with my BMW?
Type 2 is the normal AC charging connection for current BMW battery-electric vehicles. Physical connector compatibility does not determine charging speed, so the vehicle's onboard AC charger and the home's electrical installation still set the usable charging rate.
How fast can I charge my BMW at home?
AC charging capability varies by BMW model and configuration. Australian BMW i4 and i5 documentation supports 11 kW AC charging, while other current BMW models may differ. A 22 kW wallbox will not make a vehicle charge at 22 kW unless that vehicle and the electrical installation both support that rate.
Can I charge my BMW from a regular power point?
BMW provides portable charging solutions for supported vehicles, and Australian Government guidance also recognises standard power-point charging as a home-charging option. It is much slower than a dedicated wallbox. Use suitable charging equipment and have any dedicated charger installed by a licensed electrician.
