Going electric with BMW does not mean giving up the driving character the brand is known for. BMW of Riverside carries both all-electric models and plug-in hybrids. The move away from gas can be as gradual or as complete as you want. Every electrified BMW is built on BMW eDrive technology. Rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive is available depending on configuration. We serve shoppers across Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, Norco, and Ontario.
Electric motors deliver torque immediately, and every all-electric BMW uses a single-speed transmission. There are no gear changes between your right foot and the road. Rear-wheel drive keeps the classic BMW balance, while xDrive adds all-wheel traction.
BMW-estimated range across the i4 lineup runs from 232 to 333 miles depending on trim and wheel size, with the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 clearing a BMW-estimated 300 miles on either wheel choice.
Most owners simply plug in overnight at home. On the road, a high-power DC fast charger takes the i4 from 10% to 80% in about 31 minutes, and the all-electric iX3 in about 21 minutes.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
All-electric BMWs run on battery power alone. They produce no tailpipe emissions. Plug-in hybrids pair an electric motor with a gas engine. That combination covers short commutes on electricity and longer trips without a charging stop.
Home charging covers most daily driving. A standard 120-volt household outlet adds range slowly and suits light top-ups. A 240-volt Level 2 setup brings a BMW EV to a full charge in 10 to 12 hours depending on the model — roughly eight to ten hours for the i4 — so the car is full every morning. Have a licensed electrician evaluate your panel before installing one.
For longer trips, the Riverside area is covered by multiple public networks. Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint are all integrated into the BMW ChargingNetwork and operate stations locally. Moreno Valley adds municipal charging through Moreno Valley Utility on top of the commercial networks. On a high-power DC charger, the i4 goes from 10% to 80% in about 31 minutes, roughly the length of a lunch stop, and 10 minutes of DC fast charging adds a BMW-estimated 108 miles of range to the i4 eDrive40 or 88 miles to the i4 xDrive40 and i4 M60. For a fuller breakdown, see our BMW EV charging guide.

The i4 Gran Coupe is the entry point to BMW’s all-electric range. It is where most shoppers start, so its trim ladder is worth a closer look. Three trims are offered for 2026, separated by drivetrain and output.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Power | BMW-Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| i4 eDrive40 | Rear-wheel drive | 335 hp | Up to 333 miles |
| i4 xDrive40 | xDrive all-wheel drive | 396 hp | Up to 287 miles |
| i4 M60 | xDrive all-wheel drive | 510 hp (593 hp in Sport) | Up to 278 miles |
Estimated ranges attainable when battery fully charged & under ideal driving conditions. Actual range will vary depending on multiple factors, including but not limited to: vehicle model, tire & wheel selections, driving style, accessories used, traffic conditions, outside temperatures, & charging frequency. Ranges of recently released, new model year electric vehicles may not yet be fully certified by EPA. Estimated EV range is based on preliminary BMW AG tests based on EPA’s testing procedure standards. See www.fueleconomy.gov. EPA publishes a blended range average of all wheel size/tire combinations which may differ from the range presented here.

2026 and 2027 model year specifications, features, and availability are preliminary and subject to change. Figures on this page are sourced from BMW of North America: BMW i4 Gran Coupe model overview, BMW iX3 model overview, BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles, and the BMW Group 2026 BMW i4 update announcement.
Every new BMW carries a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. All-electric models add a separate high-voltage battery limited warranty. It covers defects in materials or workmanship for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. For 2026 model year all-electric BMWs, the high-voltage cell modules are also separately covered against capacity loss below 70% state of health for the same 8-year/100,000-mile term, whichever occurs first. Full terms are published by BMW of North America in its service and warranty booklets.
Federal law also protects your coverage. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 2301–2312), a manufacturer generally cannot void your warranty simply because routine maintenance or repair work was performed by an independent shop.
This information is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Warranty coverage depends on the specific terms of your vehicle’s warranty agreement. Consult your owner’s manual or a qualified legal professional for guidance on your individual situation.
The 2026 BMW i4 delivers a BMW-estimated 232 to 333 miles of range depending on the trim and wheel size selected. The rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 exceeds a BMW-estimated 300 miles with either the 18-inch or 19-inch wheels, and smaller wheels generally return the higher figure.
On a high-power DC fast charger, the BMW i4 goes from 10% to 80% in approximately 31 minutes, and 10 minutes of charging adds a BMW-estimated 108 miles of range to the i4 eDrive40 or 88 miles to the i4 xDrive40 and i4 M60. The all-electric iX3, built on an 800-volt architecture, charges from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes. That makes it practical to add substantial range during a single highway stop.
Yes. BMW warrants the high-voltage lithium-ion battery assembly against defects in materials or workmanship for 8 years or 100,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs first. On 2026 model year all-electric models, the high-voltage cell modules are also covered against capacity loss below 70% state of health over the same term. This coverage is in addition to the 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Yes. A standard 120-volt household outlet will charge the vehicle, though it is slow and best suited to light top-ups. A 240-volt Level 2 charger brings the battery to a full charge in 10 to 12 hours depending on the model, and in roughly eight to ten hours on the i4. Have a licensed electrician evaluate your home’s electrical panel and handle the installation.
