The cost of an electric car.

Purchase. Maintenance. Service.

When the price matches the performance. Compared to traditional petrol and diesel-powered cars, electric cars have fewer consumable parts and therefore generally less expensive service costs. At the same time, you can charge them with the electricity tariff that is right for you.

Charging on the go at attractives rates.

Charge your electric car very inexpensively with BMW Charging. With attractive rates and packages. For example, at practical fixed prices. And save costs at home with electricity tariffs to suit you. And, if you have a photovoltaic or solar power system, you can even charge your electric car with your own self-generated electricity.

Electric car maintenance costs.

You'll save on service and maintenance costs with an electric car. Unlike vehicles with a combustion engine, electric cars have fewer wearing parts. There is therefore no need to replace spark plugs and oil filters. At the same time, you'll save on repair costs due to the fact that electric cars have no exhaust pipe. And there's no need to change the oil during an inspection. A service is around 30% cheaper than with a petrol or diesel vehicle, saving you time and money.

1 Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195. For more information about NEDC and WLTP measuring procedures visit www.bmw.com/wltp

Further information about fuel consumption and official model-specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the "Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption for new passenger cars", available free of charge at all points of sale, at the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany, and under https://www.dat.de/co2/.

2 The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

3 The charging performance depends on vehicle equipment, the state of charge and health of the battery, battery temperature, individual driving profile, use of auxiliary users, ambient temperature, and the charging power provided at the charging station.

4 The recharged range within 10 minutes of high-power charging was determined in accordance with ISO12906 in the WLTP cycle. This, as well as the charging performance, depends on vehicle equipment, the state of charge and health of the battery, battery temperature, individual driving profile, use of auxiliary users, ambient temperature, and the charging power provided at the charging station.
