BMW electric cars

The longest-range BMW EV marked current in PlugSphere is the BMW i3 50 xDrive, with an estimated 715 km of mixed-condition driving in the PlugSphere dataset. Every BMW model page shows the full variant-by-variant range breakdown.

The lowest current BMW price stored by PlugSphere is for the BMW iX1 eDrive20, from €46,405 (NL market). This is a market-specific database record, not a live dealer-stock quote.

The quickest-charging BMW model in the current data is the BMW i3 50 xDrive: an estimated 20 minutes from 10–80% at a sufficiently powerful DC charger, using its stored typical charging power of 230 kW. Each model page lists the assumptions behind its estimate.

PlugSphere tracks 13 BMW electric model lines; 11 are marked current. This count comes from the vehicle records last checked 17 July 2026.

Like other modern EVs, BMW packs are built to outlast the industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity — fleet telemetry puts average degradation near 1.8–2% a year, so around 80% typically remains after a decade. BMW's lineup in our database uses NCM chemistry.

Out of warranty, budget roughly €100–180 per kWh plus labour: BMW's packs span 65.2–112.5 kWh in our database, which works out to approximately €6,500–€20,300 for a full pack. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a defective pack is replaced free, and partial module repairs are often far cheaper.

BMW's models in our database use NCM batteries, so 80% is the kinder daily charging target — save 100% charges for the days you need maximum range. LFP-equipped cars are the exception that tolerates daily full charges.

There is no independent brand-by-brand failure index, but the fundamentals are measurable: BMW covers its packs with the industry-standard 8-year warranty, and EV batteries across all brands show low failure rates with gradual, predictable capacity loss rather than sudden death. BMW uses proven NCM chemistry across its range. Check each model page for its exact chemistry and battery size.
