BMW i3 Charging Cable
BMW i3 EV CABLE
Your BMW i3 supports a maximum of 11kW charging (Three Phase/16A) and uses a Type 2 Connector.
BMW i3 is an all electric vehicle with a sporty design, giving drivers the ultimate driving pleasure. With the high performance battery, the BMW i3 has a range of around 190 miles on one full charge or around 175 miles in sports mode. It can accelerate from 0-62mph in 7.3 seconds and has a top speed of 93mph.
Charging is done using an EV Cables Type 2 connector with a maximum power of 11kW. A fully depleted battery will charge in around 4 hours 15 minutes, but you will need a phase 3 grid connection to achieve this.
Inside a BMW i3 feel more like a spacious lounge than the inside of a car. It embraces sustainable materials and a minimal feel for comfort and style. The exterior looks sporty from every angle you view it thanks to the coach doors, dual-colour painted surfaces and the kidney grille design.
With improved traction and stability while braking and accelerating, the BMW i3 also has Dynamic Traction Control, Sport driving mode and Sport suspension. Make use of the new BMW app where you can lock and unlock your car, check your range and send your journey directly to your car without being in it, all with your smartphone. Driving Assistant Plus and Parking Assistant can help with approach warning, person warning, speed limit information and camera based cruise control and parking.

Important Note About 11kW Cables: 11kW cables (3 Phase, 16A) are not usually ideal as a general charging cable in the UK. This is due to the fact that most EVSE (Charge points) in the UK are single-phase only. This would cause your 11kW cable to charge at 1 phase, 16A which is a 3.6kW charge rate, the slowest you can get! Most users would benefit more from a 7.2kW charging cable or the heavier 22kW charging cable.
Our EV charging cables are backward compatible. They will automatically switch between 32 and 16 amps. So you can purchase more amps and phases for use on others cars / future-proofing and it’ll still work on your current car. Any cable lower than your cars maximum supported charging, will limit the change rate to the cable capacity.
Don't forget, your charge rate is also limited by your charge point.
