BMW i5 data analysis
How BMW i5 EPA electric range varies
Across 28 configurations recorded for the 2024 through 2027 BMW i5, EPA electric range runs from 239 miles to 328 miles. The strongest figure belongs to the 2027 BMW i5 (Auto (A1)) at 328 miles, and the weakest to the 2025 car at 239 miles — a spread of 37%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the BMW i5 would be misleading.
What changed for 2027
Average EPA electric range for the 2027 BMW i5 is 288 miles, against 280 miles for the 2026 car — it rose by 7.2 miles. That is a real improvement, and it is the kind of change worth paying the newer-year premium for if this figure drives your decision.
How to read this BMW i5 data
This page lists every 2024 through 2027 BMW i5 record we hold for this measurement — 28 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Configurations behind these BMW i5 numbers
The 2024 through 2027 BMW i5 entries here span 4 model years of published measurements for this figure. 2025 is the busiest model year in the record with 9 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted EPA electric range figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.
Where these BMW i5 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The BMW i5 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
Frequently Asked Questions About i5 EV Range
How far can the BMW i5 go on a charge?
The BMW i5 is EPA-rated for up to 328 miles of electric range (2027 model year). Real-world range drops in cold weather, at highway speeds, and with heavy climate control use — plan for roughly 70–80% of the rated figure in winter.
How long does the BMW i5 take to charge?
On a 240-volt Level 2 charger the BMW i5 takes about 8 hours for a full charge. DC fast charging, where supported, is far quicker but is not part of the EPA data set.
