Charging Costs
Cost to Charge BMW i4 in Poland
Updated March 2026
The BMW i4 packs an 80.7 kWh battery and consumes about 157 Wh/km, giving it an impressive 515 km range. That combination of a large battery and low consumption makes it one of the most cost-efficient premium EVs per kilometer. Drivers using our app report that the i4's long range often means they only need to charge a few times a week at home. In Poland, average home electricity costs around €0.18/kWh and DC fast charging averages €0.45/kWh. These are estimates. Always check your vehicle's manual for exact specifications.
Charging costs vary significantly depending on your electricity tariff, time of day, charging network, subscription, and location. The numbers below are estimates based on average prices in Poland and may not reflect what you actually pay. Always check your network's app for current pricing.

Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at home overnight using a wallbox. The i4's 80.7 kWh battery takes about 8 hours on an 11 kW charger, and the per-kilometer cost at home rates is remarkably low given its 157 Wh/km efficiency.
- Use the BMW app to schedule charging during off-peak hours. With a battery this size, the price difference between peak and off-peak electricity is substantial over a month.
- The i4 supports DC fast charging at up to 207 kW. On road trips, stop between 10% and 80% to stay in the efficient part of the charging curve. Above 80%, the speed drops significantly.
- Take advantage of the i4's 515 km range to reduce how often you need to charge. If your daily round trip is under 100 km, charging twice a week at home to 80% is enough.
- Use the i4's B mode (one-pedal driving) in city traffic. The strong regenerative braking recovers energy that would otherwise be lost, reducing your real-world consumption below the rated 157 Wh/km.
Set your daily charge limit to 80% in the BMW app, which gives you over 410 km of range. Home charging is by far the cheapest option for the i4, and its efficient drivetrain means each kWh takes you further than in most competitors. Reserve DC fast charging for road trips and longer journeys.
