Choosing the Right Charging Cable for Your BMW i4
The BMW i4 is one of the most popular premium electric cars in the UK, combining BMW's performance with an impressive all-electric range. But to get the most out of your EV, you’ll need the right charging cable—one that’s compatible, reliable and tailored to your charging setup.
In this blog, we’ll explain which charging cable works best with the BMW i4 and how to make sure you’re charging as efficiently as possible at home, work and on the road.
Which Charging Connector Does the BMW i4 Use?
The BMW i4 is equipped with a Type 2 connector for AC charging, which is standard in the UK and Europe. It also has a CCS (Combined Charging System) port for DC rapid charging.
-
Type 2 to Type 2 cable – for home wall boxes and most public AC charge points.
-
Single-phase (7.4kW) or Three-phase (11–22kW) – depending on your charger setup.
-
3-pin to Type 2 cable – for occasional slow charging via a standard UK socket.
-
DC Rapid charging (CCS) – cable is built into the charger, so no need to bring your own.

Which Cable Length Should I Choose?
The right length depends on where you plan to charge your vehicle:
-
5m cable – great for driveways or garages with the charger close by.
-
7m cable – offers flexibility if your charger is positioned further away.
-
10m or 15m cable – ideal for on-street charging or awkward parking situations.
