Looking into chargers now. There are many options, still waiting to get the BMW quote for a Level 2 charger. My main house is wired for 110v, being in America and all, but the previous occupant installed a level two outlet outside of the house near the driveway for exactly this purpose (he had a Chevy Volt). Charging over twice as fast is way more convenient. For example, coming home from work and maybe I want to go out later ... it will be nice to get a significant charge in a couple of hours. The 110v is slow. as. f. The Level 2 charger at work recharged my ride in a little over 2 hours this AM.

Will let you know what I find ... but I am all ears for Level 2 recommendations if anyone has one.
