Why does your 7-Series charge at up to 7.4 kW?
Besides the combustion engine, your 7-Series has a smaller battery and an on-board charger of 7.4 kW. That charger sets your maximum charging speed: a more powerful charging station or cable won't make it faster.
- A 7.4 kW charging cable is enough: a heavier one doesn't charge any faster.
- Any charging station works, including 11 or 22 kW ones.
- That's why you only see products here that fit your 7-Series.

Which charging cable fits a BMW 7-Series?
Your 7-Series xDrive has a Type 2 connector at the front left and charges at home on 1 phase and 32 amps: up to 7.4 kW. A Type 2 charging cable of 7.4 kW gets the most out of your car. As a plug-in hybrid, your 7-Series has a combustion engine plus a smaller battery and an on-board charger of up to 7.4 kW. A more powerful charging station or cable won't charge it any faster.
At 7.4 kW you charge the 18.7 kWh battery from empty to full in about 2.5 hours. With a portable charger on a regular socket it takes a lot longer, handy if you don't have a charging station.
How we calculate it: the 18.7 kWh battery divided by 7.4 kW of charging power is about 2.5 hours. In practice it takes a little longer, because the last few percent charge more slowly and some energy is lost while charging.
