{"title":"BMW i4 charging cable","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe BMW i4 is what happens when BMW takes the 4 Series Gran Coupé silhouette and rebuilds it as a dedicated electric car, keeping the proportions, the low roofline, and the rear-biased driving feel while losing the combustion engine entirely. It launched in 2021 across four variants, all built on the same CLAR platform, all sharing the same right-rear CCS charging port and the same 11 kW three-phase onboard AC charger. The differences between them sit in battery size, drivetrain layout, and power output. The eDrive35 is the entry point: a 70.2 kWh gross battery with 66.0 kWh usable, a single rear motor producing 210 kW, and DC fast charging up to 180 kW. On an 11 kW three-phase AC supply, a full charge takes around seven hours. The eDrive40 steps up to 83.9 kWh gross with 81.3 kWh usable, 250 kW from its single rear motor, and DC charging up to 205 kW, with a full AC charge taking approximately eight and a half hours at 11 kW. The xDrive40 shares the same 81.3 kWh usable battery as the eDrive40 but adds a front motor for all-wheel drive, raising combined output to 295 kW: same charging behaviour, different traction profile. At the top sits the M50, dual motors, 400 kW combined, 0–100 km\/h in 3.9 seconds, and again the same 81.3 kWh usable pack and 205 kW DC capability. Across all four variants, AC charging at home is identical: 11 kW three-phase, and the same cable type regardless of which i4 you have.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich cable does the BMW i4 need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll i4 variants use a Type 2 connector for AC charging. A \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/voldt.co.uk\/collections\/type-2\"\u003eVoldt® Type 2 11 kW cable\u003c\/a\u003e is the correct choice across the entire range, matching the onboard charger on all four variants and making full use of any three-phase 11 kW wallbox or public post. A 22 kW cable is a sensible upgrade for any i4 owner: it works at 11 kW on the current car without restriction and gives you a cable that remains relevant if you move to a vehicle with a higher-capacity charger later on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right-rear port position means reversing into a bay puts the connector closest to the charge point on all variants. For the eDrive35, with its smaller 66.0 kWh battery, cable reach is a smaller concern than on the three larger-battery variants, though getting the length right from the start avoids ever having to think about it. For the eDrive40, xDrive40, and M50, with 81.3 kWh to fill, a generous cable length is the sensible default. A 6-metre cable handles home installations where the wall box is mounted directly alongside the parking space. An 8-metre cable is the most practical all-round choice for the i4 range, comfortably covering most home layouts and the majority of public post positions without needing to reposition the car, and the length we would suggest as a starting point for most owners. A 10-metre cable gives additional reach at posts set back from the bay, wider parking spaces, or where the car parks with the port side away from the pillar. A 15-metre cable handles hotel car parks, long driveways, and wider bays without restriction, and is the right choice if you regularly charge in places where the geometry is unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePortable charging on the road\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Voldt® \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/voldt.co.uk\/collections\/portable-ev-chargers\"\u003eportable CEE charging cable\u003c\/a\u003e is available in models up to 22 kW via three-phase CEE. For all i4 variants, a 32A three-phase red CEE socket delivers the full 11 kW. For the eDrive35, that fills the 66.0 kWh battery in around seven hours. For the eDrive40, xDrive40, and M50, 11 kW covers the 81.3 kWh battery in approximately eight and a half hours: still within an overnight window, but arriving with some charge already in the battery makes a full top-up by morning reliable even if you plug in later in the evening. Campsites and marinas across Europe typically provide blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets, which cap out at 3.7 kW, making them better suited to a partial top-up than a full overnight charge on any i4 variant. Where only a standard household socket is available, the Schuko portable charger delivers a safe 2.3 kW. The eDrive35's smaller battery is more tolerant of the pace; for the larger 81.3 kWh pack in the other variants the Schuko is best used for adding range when a proper charge point is not available rather than as a primary source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCertified quality, every connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVoldt® charging cables are CE, UKCA and TÜV certified and manufactured according to IATF 16949 automotive quality standards.
