BMW i Forums - View Single Post - What are the benefits of a BMW Wallbox over the supplied NEMA 14 adapter?

I have an order for an I4 m50 and was wondering what the BMW wall box level 2 charger would offer me over the supplied accessories. I know I have to have a 220 line installed near the car. I don't think it will offer faster charging times. Anything other than programing charging times? Say at night?

I previously bought my daughter a VW ID.4. Charging infrastructure here in Long Island is terrible. There is only 1 DC fast charger that's not even near me.
Any info greatly appreciated
