The BMW i5 eDrive40 consumes around 19.6 kWh per 100 km in real-world use. Charging 80% at home (0.35 €/kWh) and 20% at public DC stations (0.55 €/kWh) works out to €8 per 100 km. Over 15,000 km a year that is about €1,144 in electricity. The 81 kWh usable battery delivers 582 km WLTP range; in winter plan for around 419 km between charges.

Take real-world consumption
We use a year-round real-world figure (~19.6 kWh/100 km, the mean of summer and winter telemetry from ADAC Ecotest and EV-Database) instead of the WLTP headline (15.9 kWh/100 km). In winter we model 21.9 kWh/100 km separately.
Weight the electricity price
Defaults: 80 % home (€0.35/kWh) and 20 % DC fast (€0.55/kWh). Adjustable in the calculator.
Compute cost per 100 km
kWh/100 km × blended €/kWh = cost per 100 km.
Scale to annual mileage
Default 15,000 km/year: cost/100 km × 150 = annual energy cost.
Add 5-year TCO components
Depreciation 45 % (€31,590), insurance €14,040, maintenance €500/year, energy €5,718.
At 80 % home charging (€0.35/kWh) and 20 % DC fast-charging (€0.55/kWh) with a real-world consumption of 19.6 kWh/100 km, the BMW i5 eDrive40 runs at about €8 per 100 km.
WLTP lists 582 km. In realistic winter conditions (−5 °C, motorway, heater on) a practical figure is 419 km — roughly 28 % below the homologated number.
A 10 → 80 % top-up on the 81 kWh battery takes about 6h 4m on an 11-kW AC wallbox.
With a DC peak of 205 kW, a 10 → 80 % session takes roughly 30 minutes at a high-power charger.
At 15,000 km/year, 80 % home-charging, and average insurance and maintenance, 5-year TCO lands around €53,848 — including depreciation.
A petrol equivalent at 7 L/100 km and €1.75/L runs €12.25 per 100 km — about €5 more than the BMW i5 eDrive40. Over 15,000 km a year, the EV saves roughly €695.
Core formula: consumption (kWh/100 km) × blended €/kWh = cost per 100 km. Depreciation 45 % over 5 years, insurance 4 % of MSRP/yr, maintenance €500/yr (EV average). Per-model sources:
