Not having charger access at home or work is definitely in BMW's favor, but as a business you still wouldn't ignore the remaining potential market of millions that do? And others think BMW has absolutely nothing to be concerned about because Tesla will definitely fail to deliver and go out of business? Both of these arguments are not compelling reasons to dawdle, given the production time frames?
Hours charge time, yes you'd have to plug in overnight occasionally.
Hours charge time comment was made bc if you run out of charge, and are not home, the hours its takes to charge is a big deal, ie get towed, ie ask a stranger for an extension cable
