Minnesota home charging cost for the 2027 BMW i5 eDrive40 Sedan (20 inch Wheels)

A 2027 BMW i5 eDrive40 Sedan (20 inch Wheels) draws 31.9 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Minnesota's 15.98¢/kWh residential rate that's $5.09 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance.

Next step: home charger installation

The numbers above assume Level 2 home charging is already in place — the electrical work behind that is a real, separate cost that varies by panel, wiring, and local labor rates, not something this page's per-mile math includes.

Ask a licensed Minnesota electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
