Cost to Charge BMW i4 on FLO

The i4's CCS port plugs directly into FLO's CCS stalls without an adapter. Check the FLO app before your first session to confirm which connector your target station uses — mixed-connector deployments are common in 2026.

On a session-by-session basis, the i4's 205 kW peak charging speed exceeds what FLO's Level 2 hardware can deliver. You'll be limited by the car's onboard AC charger (11 kW), so a full charge takes roughly 6h 6m. L2 is best for destination or overnight charging, not road-trip pit stops.

Cost-wise, one $23.49 full charge on FLO represents $0.07 per mile of driving — about 7.4¢/mile. A gas equivalent at 30 mpg and $3.50/gal is roughly 11.7¢/mile, so this charging session is still cheaper than gas. Over 15,000 miles/year, exclusive reliance on FLO would cost roughly $1,385.14/year in fuel — a meaningful delta compared to mostly-home charging (~$653.00/year).

For most i4 owners, the realistic use-pattern for FLO is road trips and occasional top-ups — not primary fueling. If you live in an apartment or condo and rely on public charging as your main option, factor in the per-session pricing with no membership option.
