With the expansion of electric and hybrid vehicles showing up in New Jersey, some shoppers may be concerned about the lack of places to charge. If these concerns are keeping you away from exploring advanced electric models like the BMW i4 or BMW iX from Park Avenue BMW, not to worry. BMW is bringing charging capability to you. BMW offers multiple electric vehicles that are the epitome of luxury and performance. As a bonus, there are multiple ways to charge these vehicles right home.
There are three methods by which the BMW electric vehicle can be charged at home. First, all-electric and plug-in hybrid BMW products come with a universal charger. These chargers come with a 120-volt charger compatible with your home's electric outlets.
Customers will enjoy an extra four miles of charging for every hour customers charge their BMW at home via this method. For example, should owners charge their vehicle overnight (for eight hours), they will have 32 miles of range. This is often the necessary amount for owners to commute to and from work or run errands.
Next, the BMW electric vehicle and all plug-in hybrids are equipped to pair up with a 240-volt charging system. Appliances such as electric dryers and some air conditioning systems run on a 240-volt system, so you likely have an outlet already outfitted for this type of electricity.
However, BMW provides a wallbox that can be installed so that you can access this type of charging power. Customers may procure the wallbox from BMW, or they may contact Qmerit, who will not only provide the necessary wallbox, but they'll provide professional installation as well.
The 240 volt charger will provide up to forty miles of range for every hour customers charge the vehicle. Ideally, this would provide power for multiple trips before drivers need to recharge the battery once more.
