For 530e driver in the US: I just took delivery of my build today. It comes with the 110v cable. I have an outlet that has been wired for 240v in one spot for exactly this purpose so I want to use it ... what's the cheapest way to get the Level 2 charger? Does BMW sell a good one? It kind of pisses me off it didn't come standard...

I believe there are third party chargers. But unless you don't have a 110 circuit, if you only charge overnight there is no advantage to the 240 charge.

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

Given that you already have an outlet, a level 2 charger makes sense.

I recommend Juicebox Pro or Chargepoint.

I have a Juicebox 40. I've been happy with it thus far. It's nice to have a connected box to find out how much electricity you've used in a given month x whatever your electric company charges per kw.
I don't have any other experience with any of the others though... |
