Frequently asked questions about charging BMW i5
Can I use a more powerful wallbox?
Yes, provided the connection and installation are suitable. With AC charging, the vehicle’s onboard charger limits the power that is actually accepted.

A model name can cover several versions with different AC charging speeds, phase configurations or connectors. Exact vehicle selection therefore provides a more reliable product match.
