We want to know!! Add your expectation here:

I'm curious to know, what is the minimum charging speed you expect when using a fast charger for your i5? I want to make sure I'm setting realistic expectations when planning my charging stops. Share your experiences and recommendations below!

What some of the apps you'd recommend to someone as key to owning an i5 or any EV? The My BMW app is of course key for the i5 but I'm thinking of apps like Electrify America, or EVgo, or A Better Routeplanner (ABRP).
