BMW i5 Touring - first EV long trip charging report (2025)
Discussion
Long, but hopefully interesting to anyone looking at this car or interested to know the reality of long journey EV charging in 2025 UK.
Background
I got a BMW i5 Touring in Dec 2024 via a salary sacrifice scheme. I didn't particularly want an electric car, but these schemes push you in to it with the tax incentive. Fairly high spec - iDrive40 M sport pro, tech/comfort plus, B&W audio, Adaptive suspension pro, Towbar, 22kW AC charging, so list price (aka P11D) of £93,770, net £630 pm inc road tax, insurance, servicing and tyres.
I chose this car for motorway comfort and practicality - live near London, building a house to move to Moray. It replaces a 2012 BMW F02 760Li which I sold to another PHer about 4 years ago. The 760 is the same weight and size as the i5 Touring, but twice the power. I mostly work from home so do very little day to day mileage.
The other car in the household is a 2009 Toyota iQ2 1L manual (<3m long, 62bhp, ~900Kgs, 60mpg) so about as opposite as you can get.
Cape York Green colour (looks fairly light in the sun and dark when cloudy), stock 20" wheels for the M sport pro package, brown fake leather interior, and the matt grey trip on the interior (beware the silver shiny trim - a dealer test drive had this and the reflections were terrible, and it looked cheap up close).
Before the trip
The first few months have been local driving, charging all at home on the Octopus 7p night rate. 250mpg cost equivalent.
Driving has been easy enough, however getting used to all the features and settings has been challenging. The assisted driving, while clearly very impressive, is not very helpful on local roads as it brakes slightly differently to what you would do causing your heart to skip a beat when traffic slows. Assisted steering maintains the car exactly in the middle of a lane, which you soon realise is not what you do normally, you typically turn in early on a bend, meaning again you're holding your breath thinking it's going to run wide into oncoming traffic. The BMW system does not like "tight" bends, which in reality is a normal medium bend, and it drops out of assisted drive with a polite bong in the middle of the bend leaving you to steer manually. Of course it tells you this in the manual, and it's only "assisted" steering and not auto driving. So I don't use the assisted steering on smaller roads, sometimes use just the adaptive cruise.
The efficiency on local trips is quite good (2.6-3.0 miles per kWh), the adaptive regen braking is quite good at slowing the car when needed and letting it roll on the rest of the time. This took a bit of getting used to, but is effective and more useful on local driving than the assisted drive modes. Oddly, the adaptive regen braking does not bring you to a full stop in queuing traffic, whereas the assisted driving mode does, it's easy to get muddled and I'm paranoid I'll bump in to the back of something. Another one that probably eases with experience.
Electric cars are supposed to be fast. However, the i5 Touring is not been set up for racing. In local driving I never felt wanting for more acceleration and the weight is fairly well hidden by the usual EV instant torque. However out and out speed is not there and I notice the step down from the 550bhp 6L V12 it replaced.
By far the best part of the driving is the composure on real UK roads. There's none of the overly firm harsh crashyness you get on all cheaper EVs (ie all Teslas, most Kias, all MGs), and rough surfaces, and speed bumps are handled well. The sound deadening is decent, although with an EV you hear more of everything, so it's not RR quiet. The dominant noise is the ventilation, or if you turn that off, an annoyingly noticeable cooling fan noise for the wireless phone charger draws your ire, so I often move my phone to the passenger side of the phone tray for total peace!
Practicality is absolutely excellent, as it should be for a 5 series estate. I've used it for many trips to the local tip (civic amenity recycling centre in gen Z speak) and brought home a stack of 4 pallets from my work, proving you can fit 1 meter wide items at the narrowest point. I bought some generic rubber mats and a boot liner from Temu which fit quite well and protect the nice interior. Under boot storage is limited and configured for the cargo net and boot cover, although I've managed to squish in both the 22kW and 3 pin charging cables when the boot cover is not stored there.
In preparation for our long trip I did a test pack. Below shows the boot with 2x adult mountain bikes (wheels, seats and seats taken off) plus 2x full size checked luggage bags and 2x half size folding crates. And the 40% rear seat still up and fully usable! You wont be doing that in a 3 series touring!
The long trip
For a few years we've been doing UK staycation holidays to save money for the house build and having ticked off most international places on our list. I sold my 760 a week before the first of these UK driving staycations (doh!), so 2x a year for 4 years we've driven from near London to the very north of Scotland (and sometimes beyond to Orkney!) in the Toyota iQ. It's way more suitable than you'd expect, it's just the slog up the motorway from London to Glasgow and the lack of boot space that's hard work. Both of these shortcomings should be well covered by an i5 Touring!
The total trip was 2,421 miles: near London - Glasgow, few days doing things there, Glasgow - Wick, a week around there, Wick - Speyside for the whisky festival, Aviemore for the ceilidh, back to Glasgow, Manchester for work, back to Glasgow for a homebuilding show and return to London! Thus I learned EV life in all UK circumstances!
First charge in Kirkintilloch, for both me and my wee sister who'd just got a MG ZS EV.
I did loads of prep to work out how and where to charge, and to somewhat optimise the cost. The car came with a year's "BMW Charging" including BP pulse and Ionity subscriptions. In advance I could see the fast charging with BP is not in useful places and the cost is very high (69p ~26mpg cost equivalent). The Ionity chargers are mostly in useful places, very close to motorways, usually with facilities such as a Starbucks, and 33p (55mpg cost equivalent).
BMW EVs allow you to load "contracts" (aka charger network subscriptions) on to the car, and then some of these support "plug and charge", which Ionity does. Plug and Charge means you just drive up to a charging point, plug in the connector and it all sorts itself out, starting charging without you needing to do anything on the charger or your car and when you unplug it automatically charges to your credit card. Despite this, I also obtained a "BMW Charging Card" proximity card that identifies your BMW Charging account.
London - Glasgow (on a busy easter Friday)
What an easy drive in a comfortable, waftable, large EV. The assisted drive worked a treat on the M25/6/74/73 and I quicky got comfortable enough to gaze out my side window at all the things I've not noticed before. The BMW i5 Touring requires a mere touch on the steering wheel and does not check you are looking forward or paying attention. Three fingers of one hand resting on my knee and touching the bottom of the wheel was sufficient, and you get plenty of warning if it you need to hold more.
The driving was very similar to the 760 I had, wafty comfort rather than sporty drive, I'd say it is 85% as good as the 760. I realise this isn't traditional 5 series characteristics, but for my need on this day it was near perfect. The sports suspension does make it a bit firmer, even in normal mode, but that wasn't an issue on the motorway and personally this helped avoid it being too wallowy-sicky.
Driving and EV I felt I had to take the bikes and do some eco tourism. So a quick cycling along the canal to the Falkirk wheel and back.
Charging on this leg was ok, but not perfect. I used 2 Ionity stations, both in Starbucks car parks right next to Motorway junctions. Not having to go in to a disgusting motorway services was a massive joy and is nearly enough for me to never want an ICE car for long journeys again! One of the charging locations was a bit busy so we had to queue for 10 mins, the only charging related wait in the whole trip. The car navigation would have avoided this wait were it not for 1 charging point not working (had a cone out) but not registered as not working in the system, and I could find no way to report it.
Once we got to the charge point, the Plug and Charge did not work, despite re-plugging a few times and moving to another station. This was the case at both Ionity charging stops that day. I could have phoned them (there's phone numbers on almost all charging points we visited and we often saw confused people on the phone getting help to charge, which seemed to work for most of them), or I could have used the charger display panel to input my Ionity charging subscription details (which I'd need to have dug out from my emails which would have taken ages), however I was able to use that BMW Charging card and just tap it on the charger station in the obvious place and it all just worked from there. So I highly recommend getting one of the cards, even if BMW Charing claim you don't need it! The Ionity stations worked with Plug and Charge on the rest of the trip, so maybe there was an issue that day.
At both stops charging was fast, mostly at 210kW (I think this is the max the car will support), although this drops at around 70% to 100kW and above 85% to 50kW. What this means is while we could have done the whole London to Glasgow with one charge, it is quicker to do two stops and not charge up to 100%. In reality we have been doing at least 2 stops on this trip for years, 1 stoppers are only possible in your 20s! Each stop by the time we went to the loo in Starbucks and grabbed a pastry the car was charged beyond what we needed, so zero 'waiting' caused by charging.
Around Scotland
Scotland's bigger roads are great for an EV to swoop about on, more interesting than boring motorways, yet enough space to not worry about a >5m >2 tonne lump. And the power/torque delivery hides the weight well. I did notice the i5 delivery of it's power is far less brutal than most EVs, BMW have resisted the urge to be unnecessarily melodramatic in this regard, opting to make it as close to an ICE delivery as possible. It's still definitely an EV, but very easy to get use to, easy to avoid being lurchy on the accelerator, and quite close to my previous 760 in driveability.
It's a family tradition to take picture of the Dalwhinnie Distillery (by the passenger of course!) when passing on the A9. This time I had a stop in the layby.
Charging in Scotland is a far different affair, with the last Ionity station at Perth, and few other >100kW chargers anywhere. Around half of our Scotland charging was at houses - family in Glasgow and a house we have in Wick. This was interesting as it require a 3 pin plug charging cable, which did not come with the BMW but I bought a cheap one just before the trip. It worked fine, but charging times were very slow, nearly 2 days for a full charge. I also learned that using a 3 pin extension cable is not a good idea - it worked for a while and then melted the plug and wall socket. Woops. So had to juggle cars around to get close enough to plug directly from the car. I should have got a longer cable version of the 3 pin charger.
What Scotland does have is a good charging app that seems to be something of an 'umbrella app' that sits over multiple actual charging networks - "Charge Place Scotland". I used this for most public charging in Scotland. There's chargers everywhere, in every wee town and village, and close to all main roads, however the charging speeds and prices vary a fair bit. While the charging speeds are on the app, I found that most stations did not charge at the speed advertised. On AC, only one charging station that said up to 22kW did indeed run at that speed, the others only did 10 or 7kW. It seems the "up to" is not just dependent on the ability of your car, but also the charge point. I suspect some are just wrong in the app.
No charging points at the 'centre of Scotland'.
Despite the lack of fast chargers around Scotland, this turned out not to be a problem. The nature of our trip was going about places and doing things, so we simply learned to 'graze' and plug in for a relatively slow charge while we were doing a thing. Aberlour have a few locations that topped us up while at the Distillery tour, and a random Forres car park did the same while visiting the new Murray McDavid shop on the high street. In the end we never 'waited' anywhere for charging to take place.
One charging wrinkle in Scotland was using the Tesla supercharger station in Aviemore. While the BMW can use it, there's not auto magic, so I was using the Tesla app, which is utterly dreadful and very unreliable, which surprised me given it's a software-first company. This was made worse by the lack of a mobile data signal at the charging location! I got it working eventually though. Won't be rushing back to Telsa charging, and it was quite expensive.
The wee 2 car ferry at Nigg was a 1 car ferry when you rock up with a 5+m car! Although I suspect we could have just about squeezed our iQ in the remaining space.
Conclusion
The BMW i5 Touring is ideal for long journeys and very practical with loads of room. And the high price is justified versus the significantly better build quality and ride quality versus the majority of EVs in the £40-60k list price bracket. Although I note that you can get 6 month old 5k miles examples with a similarly high spec for £50k (eg https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/18222201).
Charging on a long journey is fine and none of the major scare stories apply. Those spouting these negatives issues with charging are about 3 years out of date. It's fine now. There's some adjustment of behaviours, and humans struggle with any type of change. There are some minor annoyances, but I now know these so won't factor going forward. I can see that it's now at a level (in the UK) that 'normal' people can use EVs quite easily and not worry. And it'll quickly get easier as the charging networks inevitably consolidate, either directly or via umbrella apps.
I still miss my V12, but I'm happy with the EV.

Great write up and a very interesting read. We have 2 electric cars (Audi e-tron GT and a Mercedes EQB) and our experiences match yours. They extremely comfortable cars to travel distances in and suit our travelling profile well. They're fine for most folk, unless you're a diesel mileage hero with a mega bladder and prefer that life!
Thanks for taking the time to post that, a very interesting and informative read!
I've pretty much decided our next car will be an EV on the basis we can charge at home and seldom do a high daily mileage (and when we do it tends to be in the camper van). I'd be buying secondhand and there now seems to be some decent alternatives around if you're prepared to spend up to £30k...

Thanks for this, I just ordered an i5 Touring (company car).
Similar to yourself, wasn't really fussed on an EV, however, tax, free charging at work, work funding home charge point etc and it makes sense.
One of our offices is in the New Forest, circa 600m round trip for me. I will have to get familiar with it before committing to use it for that!

That’s a fair distance 600m. It might struggle with that. I do have some long commutes and my i5 with the larger wheels setting it at 75mph motorway does 200 miles with maybe 30-40 spare in one charge. Winter is a bit tight. This is in normal mode, not echo. Smaller wheels and saloon will have better figures.
Charging infrastructure, at the least in the south is fine. Never have any range anxiety. Saying that I wouldn’t want to commute any further than I do, it’s far enough.
It’s a great car you will enjoy it!

Thanks, 280m each way I should add. I assume I'd have to do some charging mid-trip. Happy to stop for an hour or so.
This journey is maybe four times a year, I take it as a near full days travel time. A stop mid point is welcome! If I use the i5, I'll try to find somewhere for food/charging, ideally not a motorway services. Caffeine and Machine is half way, I don't believe they have charge points though, yet.
Looking forward to getting it.
Appreciate the reply too.
