Charging Time of a BMW i3
You want to know the charging time of a BMW i3?
Then you're in the right place!
There are various wall chargers for charging an electric car. To provide you with some estimates, we will use the go-e-Charger HOME and the Gemini Series as examples.
The listed charging times depend on:
BMW i3 Characteristics
Battery size: 37.9 kWh
Max. AC charging power basic version: 11 kW
Max. DC charging capacity: 50 kW
Number of phases: three-phase
Max. charging current for AC charging stations: 16 A
Charging Time of the BMW i3 at AC Charging Stations
Charging with a mobile AC wallbox
The charging time of a BMW i3 at a portable wallbox is approximately 4 hours.

Charging with a mobile AC charging station and adapter*
In the case of the 11 kW charging stations, a CEE red 32 A adapter, a CEE blue 16 A adapter, and an adapter for the household socket with a charging capacity of 10 A were used for the calculation.
The charging time of the BMW i3 at the 11 kW wallbox is approximately 4 to 17 hours, depending on the adapter used.

In the case of the 22 kW charging stations, a CEE red 16 A adapter, a CEE blue 16 A adapter and an adapter for the household socket with a charging capacity of 10 A were used for the calculation.
The charging time of the MBW i3 at the 22 kW wallbox is also approximately 4 to 17 hours, depending on the adapter used.

Adapter*: only original go-e adapters are to be used for charging with go-e Charger.
Charging with a stationary AC charging station
For the single-phase connection, we used a maximum current of 16 A.
When charging with the stationary 11 kW or 22 kW wallbox and single-phase connection, the charging time of the BMW i3 is 10.80 hours. With a three-phase connection, the charging time is 3.93 hours.
