Charging cost
How much does it cost to charge a BMW i7 eDrive50 in Singapore?
About $16.02 per 100 km at the median AC rate of $0.69/kWh — roughly $216 a month at 1,350 km, the distance the average Singapore car actually covers. That is about 27% less than a comparable petrol car. Charge at the island's cheapest public charger and it drops to $7.79 per 100 km.

The numbers behind that
| Official consumption | 207.5 Wh/km |
|---|---|
| Motor power | 335 kW |
| Battery | 101.7 kWh NMC |
| Max AC charging | 11 kW |
| Max DC charging | 195 kW |
| Cost per 100 km (AC) | $16.02 |
| Cost per 100 km (DC) | $16.43 |
Monthly cost by distance driven
| Per month | Cheapest AC | Typical AC | Typical DC | Petrol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 km | $39 | $80 | $82 | $110 |
| 1,000 km | $78 | $160 | $164 | $219 |
| 1,500 km | $117 | $240 | $246 | $329 |
| 2,000 km | $156 | $320 | $329 | $438 |
One charge, 20–80%
That puts 61.0 kWh into the battery. You are billed for 67.8 kWh, because 6.8 kWh is lost to conversion and thermal management on the way in. On a 7.4 kW AC charger that costs $47.12 and takes about 8 h 15 m. On a 120 kW DC charger: $48.31, roughly 44 m.
This car uses a nickel-based (NMC) pack. For daily use most manufacturers suggest stopping around 80% and saving full charges for long trips, since sitting at 100% ages these cells faster.
Its onboard charger accepts up to 11 kW on AC, so the 22 kW AC bays around Singapore will not charge it any faster than an ordinary 7.4 kW one — worth knowing before you drive out of your way for a higher-rated charger.
Work it out for your own mileage
Consumption figures come from LTA's own homologation data, and the rates are the live medians across Singapore's public charging network. Charging losses are included — you pay for what crosses the charger's meter, not what reaches the battery.
Assumes 10% charging losses on AC and 5% on DC. Distance starts at 1,350 km a month — a 2025 Singapore car averaged 16,200 km a year, per LTA's mileage survey. Petrol price as of 2026-09-05; your actual cost varies with driving style, aircon use and battery condition.
