Charging includes AC charging up to 11 kW (J1772); DC fast charging up to 205 kW (CCS Combo 1). On a DC fast charger, it adds ~107 mi in 10 min; Heat-pump HVAC is fitted.
Class comparison
Compared with 134 other sedans, BMW i5 Sedan eDrive40 2025 leans toward slower acceleration and more range in 10 min. 0-60 mph is slower than the class median; 6 s vs 4.25 s; 1.75 s slower, +41%. Range added in 10 min (est.) is higher than the class median; 107 mi vs 95 mi; 12 mi higher, +13%. Usable battery capacity is below the class median; 81.2 kWh vs 90.6 kWh; 9.4 kWh lower, -10%. Works best if you're comfortable with a smaller usable battery.

Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using EPA range/efficiency data (where available) and the usable battery capacity of the car. “Mild weather" represents driving in roughly 68-77 °F without heavy use of climate control, while "Cold weather" reflects winter conditions with the cabin heater on (around 14 °F). "Highway" figures assume steady cruising at about 65 mph-70 mph. These figures are not official test results or guarantees. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tires and driving style.
BEVDB estimates use EPA-rated (or derived) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value averages the four scenarios.
Reminder: Range and energy consumption figures are estimates. Actual results may vary depending on weather, driving style, terrain, and other conditions.
