If you have convenient access to workplace charging, that may also impact how often you choose to charge your electric BMW overnight. Keep in mind that how often and how long you should charge your electric BMW depends in part on what kind of home charging option you have and your daily driving needs. Use DC and high-power DC chargers as often as you need, in order to extend the mileage of your electric BMW in a short period of time. The jumper cables can then be disconnected.' The Volt’s 'starter motor' is the smaller motor, MGA. While it takes longer, it is less stressful on the high-voltage battery and also a more cost-efficient way to get your range topped up. After the instrument cluster initializes, the Volt will use power from the high voltage battery to charge the 12-volt battery. When not driving your electric BMW for a longer period of time, leave the battery between 20% and 80% charged. Our plug-in hybrids come with a charging cable which you can use to connect to household power for lightweight charging duty. However, it is not recommended to charge up to 100% every day – as this can harm the battery in the long run. Charging a plug-in hybrid at home is not much different from charging your cell phone or laptop. Depending on the existing wiring in the house and garage, owners may be able to buy a permanent 240-Volt charging station and have it installed for the same 900 cost quoted by the Ford dealer. You can charge the battery up to 100% when you have to rely on the entire driving range of your vehicle (for a longer trip), as occasional charging to 100% doesn’t harm the battery.
Staying between 20% to 80% battery capacity should leave you with enough driving miles – and you can use iDrive or your My BMW App to set a target state of charge. The amount of miles you drive daily will determine how much charging you will need. Similar to your cell phone, charging up your electric BMW before a day’s use is simple. Can you point me toward where I can find installation instructions for a 2018 Volt Thank you.
