Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | BMW i7 | Mazda 6e |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | eDrive50 | Long Range 80 kWh |
| Battery (approx.) | ~101.7 kWh | ~77.97 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~611 km | ~552 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~196 Wh/km | ~162 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 200 kW | up to 95 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~30 min | ~50 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The BMW i7 has the higher published DC charging figure at 200 kW, which is roughly 111% higher than the Mazda 6e at 95 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the BMW i7 is listed at about 30 minutes, which is 20 minutes quicker than the Mazda 6e at 50 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The BMW i7 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 611 km, which is roughly 59 km more than the Mazda 6e at approximately 552 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Mazda 6e consumes 162 Wh/km, compared to 196 Wh/km for the BMW i7. That means the Mazda 6e uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The BMW i7 has approximately 101.7 kWh of useable battery , while the Mazda 6e has approximately 77.97 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the BMW i7 has the higher published DC figure (up to 200 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 30 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Mazda 6e is the more efficient choice at 162 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the BMW i7 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 611 km, which is roughly 59 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
