When the price matches the performance. Compared to traditional petrol and diesel-powered cars, electric cars have fewer consumable parts and therefore generally less expensive service costs. At the same time, you can charge them with the electricity tariff that is right for you.

Electric car maintenance costs.
You'll save on service and maintenance costs with an electric car. Unlike vehicles with a combustion engine, electric cars have fewer wearing parts. There is therefore no need to replace spark plugs and oil filters. At the same time, you'll save on repair costs due to the fact that electric cars have no exhaust pipe. And there's no need to change the oil during an inspection. A service is around 30% cheaper than with a petrol or diesel vehicle, saving you time and money.

An electric car also needs to be checked regularly. Your BMW is in the best hands with BMW Service, saving you time and money.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does an electric car cost?
The purchase price of an electric car can vary significantly and depends on various factors, such as the selected model, equipment fitted etc. Generally, electric cars are slightly more expensive than comparable cars with a combustion engine, due to the cost of the battery technology and electric motors. By comparison, their ongoing running costs are more affordable.
There are many benefits to owning an electric car:
Lower running costs: electric cars generally have lower running costs than petrol or diesel vehicles. The energy costs of an electric car are often less expensive per kilometre than filling up with petrol or diesel.
Lower maintenance requirements: electric cars have fewer moving parts in the motor, resulting in lower wear. There is no need to change the engine oil, and the brakes last longer as regenerative braking causes less wear.
Tax benefits: there are also tax benefits and incentives in certain countries and regions to promote the purchase of electric cars. This can reduce the annual vehicle tax payable. In many countries, electric cars are exempt from vehicle tax altogether.
What does it cost to charge an electric car?
The cost of charging an electric car can vary and depends on diverse factors, such as the electricity tariff that you use at public charging stations or whether you charge your car at home with your own solar photovoltaic system. The size of the battery also plays a role, as it determines how much electricity is needed to charge the car, and therefore the cost of a charge.
To calculate the cost of a full charge, simply multiply the size of the battery in your vehicle in kWh by the price per kWh. For example, if you have an electric car with a 100 kW battery and your electricity rate is €0.30 per kWh, then a full charge would cost €30 (100 kWh * €0.30/kWh = €30).
Please note that you are often likely to charge your electric car before the battery is completely empty, meaning that you will undoubtedly pay less than the full price for a charge.

1 Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195. For more information about NEDC and WLTP measuring procedures visit www.bmw.com/wltp
Further information about fuel consumption and official model-specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the "Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption for new passenger cars", available free of charge at all points of sale, at the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany, and under https://www.dat.de/co2/.
2 The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.
3 The charging performance depends on vehicle equipment, the state of charge and health of the battery, battery temperature, individual driving profile, use of auxiliary users, ambient temperature, and the charging power provided at the charging station.
4 The added range after 10 minutes of high-power charging was determined according to ISO12906 in the WLTP cycle and requires that the charging infrastructure enables the maximum DC charging power. The added range and charging performance depend on vehicle equipment, battery state of charge and health, ambient and battery temperature, driving profile, auxiliary users, vehicle-specific charging settings, and the charging power provided by the charging station.
