The BMW 330e is a plug-in hybrid saloon, combining BMW's renowned driving dynamics with the efficiency of electric power. With an electric-only range for shorter journeys and a petrol engine for longer trips, keeping it charged is simple with the right cable, whether at home or at public charging stations.
The BMW 330e uses a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable and has a maximum onboard charging capacity of 3.7 kW (AC). This means the 1-Phase, 16A cable delivers the maximum charging speed — using a higher-rated cable won't charge any faster than the vehicle can accept, but does future-proof you if you upgrade to a vehicle with a faster onboard charger.
