Your electric BMW, charged at home overnight

An electric BMW starts most days with a full battery, charged in your garage while you sleep. On a 240-volt outlet, a full charge takes 10 to 12 hours depending on the model, and the home charger comes with every all-electric BMW.

We sell the i5, the i7 and the iX3 new, with the X5 xDrive50e and XM Label plug-in hybrids beside them, from 4171 Jonesboro Rd in Union City. At our dealership, a BMW Genius is specially trained to help you get familiar with every aspect of your BMW, the charging at home and in public included, before, during and after the purchase.

What our customers in Union City say

“I picked up my brand new BMW I4 last week and I could not have been more pleased! EVERYONE and I mean every single person I interacted made my first BMW purchase truly special. I especially want to warmly acknowledge Kahtan, who is by far the best sales person that I have ever encountered…and I’ve been buying cars for a very long time. From the moment I spoke with him over the phone to actually meeting him in person on the day I picked up my car, he made the process totally stress-free. He went the extra mile to get the car that I wanted and his professional was at the highest standards. I am extremely impressed with South Atlanta BMW and their level of service.”

“My service advisor, Tim, did an amazing job as always. He kept me fully updated on my vehicle and answered all my questions with complete professionalism. While waiting, I had the pleasure of meeting Reggie from the sales team. He completely elevated my visit by providing a complimentary appraisal of my current vehicle, showing me around their incredible new inventory, and setting up a test drive. If you are looking to upgrade or buy, Reggie is fantastic to work with. Highly recommend this team for both top-tier service and an outstanding sales experience!”

Kandi5-star Google review

“My visit to BMW was quite productive, very pleasant and reassuring that all would work out for the best. I’ve been a customer since 2015. And have had the pleasure of working with many service advisors. Today, I had the pleasure of working with Braden Allen. He was very helpful, polite and answered all my questions. It was my distinct pleasure having Braden as my advisor.”

The guide

Going electric in a BMW

Which electric BMW, how it charges at home and on the road, what covers it, and how we sell it and look after it in Union City.

1. The i5, the i7 and the iX3

We sell three fully electric BMWs new: the i5 sedan, the i7 sedan and the iX3 SUV.

The i7 we sell brings a virtually silent drive and adaptive 2-axle air suspension. The i5 sits between them for the business week, and the i5 M60 at our dealership is the BMW M model of the range.

ModelEstimated rangeFast charging
i5 eDrive40278 to 310 mi10% to 80% in about 30 min; 86 to 96 mi added in ten minutes
i7 50 xDriveUp to 350 mi10% to 80% in about 29 min; 105 to 110 mi added in ten minutes
iX3 50 xDrive383 to 434 mi10% to 80% in about 21 min; 170 to 185 mi added in ten minutes

Inside the i7, the available Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System comes with Dolby Atmos, and the available BMW Crystal Headlights carry diamond-cut glass elements. Each can be seen on a test drive booked online with our team.

2. Is an electric BMW right for you?

If you can charge where you park overnight, an electric BMW fits the week easily.

  • A garage or a driveway: fully electric, charged overnight
  • A standard outlet only: a plug-in hybrid, or fully electric once a 240-volt outlet is added
  • An apartment or a street spot: a plug-in hybrid, or fully electric with public charging nearby
  • Frequent long trips: fully electric with the navigation planning the stops, or a plug-in hybrid

The battery is mounted low in the car, which lowers the center of gravity. Before you choose, a BMW Genius from our team can show you whether the car fits your needs with an at-home demonstration.

3. A plug-in hybrid instead

A plug-in hybrid drives gas-free on electricity for shorter trips, while the gas engine supports you on longer journeys.

A dark blue BMW XM Label seen from the side
XM LabelOn electricity aloneUp to 30 miPower and pace738 hp total, 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 s

We sell both new at our dealership in Union City. The X5 xDrive50e comes with the Flexible Fast Charger and adapters for a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet, and its BMW Curved Display shows the electric range, the motor output and the charge status. The XM Label is the most powerful BMW M model ever produced, a plug-in hybrid SUV with 738 horsepower.

4. Charging at home, and power for the house

Every all-electric BMW comes with a home charger, and the iX3 can return the favor to the house.

A standard 120-volt household outlet works, though a full charge on one can take over a day. The BMW Wallbox is available for a garage or an outdoor space, installed by a certified electrician such as one through BMW's installation partner Qmerit.

The iX3 brings bidirectional charging. With an optional Vehicle-to-Home adapter, its battery can help power household appliances and lighting during an outage, and the BMW Wallbox Professional, available from 2027, can back up the whole home. Away from home, Vehicle-to-Load lets it power devices such as camping equipment, like a mobile power bank.

5. Charging on the road

The BMW ChargingNetwork counts more than 180,000 charging points, and Tesla Superchargers are open to BMWs too.

Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint and IONNA are among the partners in the network, and the My BMW App finds the nearest stations and builds the charge stops into your route on a longer trip. With a compatible adapter, a BMW can charge at participating Tesla Supercharger stations, and the iX3 plugs in directly through its native NACS port.

We set out which adapter and which Tesla Supercharger stations your BMW can use, and the iX3 comes with a CCS adapter for DC fast charging.

6. Buying, financing or leasing, and the coverage

Our tenured BMW finance team helps with each step of buying or leasing, and three coverages come with every new electric BMW.

A new electric BMW can be bought, financed or leased at our dealership, and our trade-in tool gives your current car's Kelley Blue Book Trade-In Value from the VIN, the plate or the model. With Shop From Home, the purchase can be settled online and the car delivered to your home or office. The finance application can also be filled out securely online before you visit us in Union City.

7. Service, and our showroom hours

An electric BMW asks less of the workshop, and our service center in Union City handles what it does ask.

There is no engine oil to change. Regenerative braking causes less wear, so the brakes last longer. At our service center, factory-trained technicians handle tire rotations and the scheduled visits, with a multipoint inspection and video documentation on every visit. Our Mobile Service team comes from our dealership to your home or office for work such as tire replacements and micro-filters.

Electric BMW questions, answered

Owning and charging

How fast does the included home charger charge?

Up to 9.6 kW on a 240-volt outlet with the correct adapter, comparable to the BMW Wallbox. That gives a full charge in 10 to 12 hours, depending on the model.

Who installs a home charger for an electric BMW?

Our dealership can recommend a local installation service, so your electrical service is inspected and, if needed, an upgrade is recommended. BMW's trusted installation partner Qmerit also installs the BMW Wallbox or a 240-volt outlet.

How do I charge the iX3 at a Tesla Supercharger?

The iX3 has a native NACS port that connects directly to Tesla Superchargers, and an included CCS adapter opens the rest of the network. We set out its charging in full.

Leasing, coverage and a test drive

Can I lease an electric BMW?

Yes. A new electric BMW can be bought, financed or leased at our dealership, and our tenured BMW finance team helps you find the payment plan that makes the most sense for you.

How long is the battery of an electric BMW covered?

BMW covers the high-voltage battery with an 8-year, 100,000-mile limited defect warranty, beside the 4-year, 50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

What is covered once the car is mine?

Three coverages come with a new electric BMW, and the battery has the longest: 8 years or 100,000 miles.

Does an electric BMW cost less to maintain?

It needs less. Electric cars have fewer moving parts in the motor, there is no engine oil to change, and the brakes last longer because regenerative braking causes less wear.
