530e Level 2 Charging Cable Recommendations?

bkw · 04-26-2022, 04:56 PM

hi All,
Looking for recommendations on a L2 cable. Was going to purchase one on Amazon then did some research and found a bunch priced anywhere between $200 - $700 (!).

Thanks in advance!

What features you want are the real differences. I like my ChargePoint Flex and plan to buy another for my new house. But at $700 it is on the higher end of the pricing scale.

I recommend buying the original from the dealer. There will be no problems and the price is normal

My ChargePoint Flex arrived today, to be installed in a couple weeks.

I bought a Mustart branded charger off Amazon. 32 amps even though the car only draws 16 - just some extra capacity. Been using it a little over a year with no problems. At first I wanted a smart charger, but the really key info is already available from the car via the bmw app.

I can tell you that having an L2 charger makes a huge difference in the number of electric miles you will drive.
