BMW i4: charging cost vs gas
We've set the BMW i4 as your EV below. Pick the gas car you'd compare against, set your prices and miles, and see the real cost difference — and the break-even.
Efficiency 3.4 mi/kWh
EPA range 300 mi
From ~$52,000
Typical gas rival 28 mpg
The i4 is an efficient (~3.4 mi/kWh) electric sport sedan that, against a 28-mpg gas luxury sedan, cuts running cost per mile sharply — and electric torque comes without the premium-fuel bills of a gas performance car.
As a luxury car the premium is higher, so the running-cost savings are a bonus on top of the driving experience rather than the whole reason to buy.
What to keep in mind
- ~3.4 mi/kWh — efficient for a performance sedan.
- No premium-gasoline bills like a gas sport sedan.
- Luxury price means savings are a bonus, not the payback driver.
