What is the most efficient way to charge the BMW i5's battery?

As an owner of a BMW i5, I am wondering what is the best way to charge the battery in order to maximize its efficiency and lifespan. Should I use fast charging or regular charging? Is it better to charge up to 80% or to full capacity? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Based on my experience with the BMW i5, I have found that using regular charging (level 1 or 2) is the most efficient way to charge the battery. Fast charging (level 3) can put more strain on the battery and reduce its lifespan.

E

In terms of charging up to 80% or full capacity, it is recommended to charge up to 80% on a regular basis to prolong the battery's lifespan. However, occasionally fully charging the battery can help balance the cells and maximize its capacity.

B

Additionally, using a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charger instead of a regular outlet can also help with charging efficiency.
