# BMW electric cars

We cover 4 BMW models: 16,248 new registrations in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025 combined, with consumption of 162 to 171 Wh/km (WLTP).

Short answer

As of October 18, 2026, at 15,000 km a year and all charged at home, a BMW earns about €300 to €315 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. Consumption is 162 to 171 Wh/km (WLTP). Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand: €0.122.

-   4 models in this data

-   16,248 new registrations in the Netherlands, 2024 and 2025 EEA

-   162to 171 Wh/km consumption according to WLTP, lowest to highest model

-   €300to €315 in ERE at 15,000 km charged at home. Per kWh the same for every brand

Home charging from 20 to 80%: battery and onboard charger from the charging data, checked on October 6, 2026. Each model page lists its sources. ERE: kWh at 15,000 km × 0.33269 ERE per kWh × €0.460 per ERE × (1 − 20%), rounded to €5.

Comparison

## BMW: Wh/km and ERE per year

Wh/km is the WLTP consumption from the EEA data. ERE per year at 15,000 km charged at home follows that consumption, rounded to €5. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.

ERE

## What does ERE earn with a BMW?

At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, the BMW models here earn about €300 to €315 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. That difference comes only from the measured consumption: the BMW iX1 at 162 Wh/km to the BMW i5 at 171 Wh/km. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.

Per kWh, ERE earnings for a BMW are the same as for every other car brand. The brand does not change that amount. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter. [Do the charger check](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/charger-check/)

Bidirectional charging

## Bidirectional charging on a BMW

This is what the sources say about V2L (to a device), V2H (to your home) and V2G (to the grid). A yes applies only as the note describes it. Checked on October 6, 2026.

Questions

## Questions about BMW

How much ERE does a BMW earn per year?

As of October 18, 2026, at 15,000 km a year and all charged at home, a BMW earns about €300 to €315 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. Consumption is 162 to 171 Wh/km (WLTP). Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand: €0.122.

Which BMW models are listed here?

We cover 4 BMW models, in order of new registrations in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025: the BMW iX1 (162 Wh/km, 8,168 registrations), the BMW i4 (163 Wh/km, 3,698 registrations), the BMW i5 (171 Wh/km, 2,711 registrations) and the BMW iX2 (163 Wh/km, 1,671 registrations). 16,248 registrations combined (EEA).

Which BMW uses the least energy?

the BMW iX1 has the lowest consumption: 162 Wh/km (WLTP), the most kilometres per kWh of the BMW models here. the BMW i5 has the highest consumption: 171 Wh/km. Lower consumption means fewer kWh charged at the same distance and therefore less ERE, not more. The brand does not change earnings per kWh.

How is the ERE figure for a BMW calculated?

At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, after the median commission of 20%: about €300 (the BMW iX1, 162 Wh/km) to €315 (the BMW i5, 171 Wh/km). That difference comes only from the measured consumption (Wh/km, so kilometres per kWh), not from the brand. Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter; public charging earns you no ERE.

Can I charge a BMW bidirectionally?

Not for the brand as a whole, and only as the source describes it per model. V2L: no on every model in the data. V2H: no on every model in the data. V2G: no on every model in the data. BMW iX1: No V2L, V2H or V2G, not even after the spring 2026 update. BMW starts bidirectional charging with the new iX3 (Neue Klasse). Outside the Netherlands: V2L and V2H only in Japan via a CHAdeMO adapter, for use during power cuts (cars from July 2024). BMW i4: No V2L, V2H or V2G. BMW starts bidirectional charging with the new iX3 (Neue Klasse); the i4 is not included. BMW i5: No V2L, V2H or V2G in the Netherlands. BMW starts bidirectional charging with the new iX3 (Neue Klasse). Outside the Netherlands: V2L and V2H only in Japan via a CHAdeMO adapter, for use during power cuts. BMW iX2: No V2L, V2H or V2G, not even after the spring 2026 update. BMW starts bidirectional charging with the new iX3 (Neue Klasse). Outside the Netherlands: V2L and V2H only in Japan via a CHAdeMO adapter (cars from July 2024). Sources: BMW Group PressClub, BMW Group PressClub NL, BMW Group Japan, ev-database.org, ev-database.org. Checked on October 6, 2026.

Does the car brand matter for ERE?

No. ERE depends on the kWh you charge at home and on the provider (the ERE price and the commission), never on the car brand. Per kWh, earnings for a BMW are the same as for every other brand: 0.33269 ERE per kWh, at €0.460 per ERE (October 18, 2026), after the median commission of 20%, which is €0.122 per kWh. A car with higher consumption (more Wh/km, fewer kilometres per kWh) charges more kWh at the same distance and therefore earns more ERE. That difference comes from the measured consumption, not from the brand.
