Detailed Descriptions

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive sedan. It came out in 2021. BMW stopped making the eDrive40 in 2024 and replaced it with the BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…). You can still find BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) on the used car market, with prices starting around $42,200.

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) has a 83.9 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 296 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 27.3 kWh per 100 miles (or 3.7 miles per kWh) — ranked №162 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds (ranked №279 out of 693 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 118 mph.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 250 kW (335 hp) of power and 317 lb-ft of torque.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) achieves a real-world range of 266–326 miles, placing it at №159 among 693 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 36 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 207 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use Green Cars Compare Charging Calculator.
