according to the calculator (screenshot), it’s closer to 4h. NOTE that I calculated using 28kWh to account for roughly 10% of charging losses over the 25.7kWh usable capacity (it will always use more energy to charge to a given capacity)
even when calculated manually:
28kWh divided by 7.4kW equals 3.8h, so 3h15m is too fast. according to physics, that’s simply impossible
was the “3h15m” from the vehicle display or MyBMW app or the JuiceBox app? definitely don’t go by the JuiceBox app! I would argue your battery wasn’t completely at 0% but likely closer to 20% when you started charging
