BMW 61905B30091

BMW 61905B30091 is a Level 2 home EV charger from BMW with up to 64 A (15.36 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 25 ft cable, networked smart charging.

Our take

BMW’s wall connector is the sole 64 A entry in the certified catalogue here, rated 15.36 kW on an 80 A circuit — roughly 54 miles of range per charging hour on paper. In practice only 3 of the 29 EVs we track have onboard chargers that can accept even 12 kW, so the vehicle sets the pace and this capacity goes largely unused. Standby draw is 5.1 W, about 45 kWh a year, with a 25-foot cable and Wi-Fi connectivity.
