Did the i5 come with a Nema 14–50 plug? Mine did not. Just a standard 110 volt plug.

Yes, it was an option when ordering the car to get a free 14-50 plug. I had this option chosen and the car arrived with it.

Did it have anything about the adapter on your window sticker? Mine just had BMW flexible fast charging. Thanks.

Yup. Mine came with both cables.

I read through the sticker. I did not read anything about a 14-50 adaptor. Just "flexible fast charger" and "US charging socket" .

When I built the car on BMWUSA the 14-50 was $0 option and was automatically checked under accessories I believe. The part is about $100, so I'd recommend you ask your dealer to order you one for free. Hopefully the dealer would have several lying around. My guess is the factory missed putting the adaptor in the trunk when the car was sent out of the factory.

That is a pain though, I hope you have another quick charging option at home.

Thanks for the information. I texted my sales advisor but no response. Contacted BMWNA and they connected me to the dealer and parts department and of course they said we need to talk to the sales advisor.
Have Tesla at home but the connection is different unfortunately.
Worst case I’ll go and buy it from the dealer and complain to BMWNA.

You know you probably can get an adapter for your Tesla home charger right?

I have one for my I5 and X5E

Yep. I have the Tesla adapter to use the BMW charger so I was planning on just using the BMW charger.
Which adapter did you purchase?

Lectron (I think)

All new BEVs receive 120v adapter and 220v 14-50 adapter with FFC charger as standard in USA. PHEVs do not get a free 14-50 plug.

Correct. The i5 should have come with the 220v 14-50 adapter.
My sales advisor says he is getting it for me. Been almost a week.

I ended up buying a Tesla adapter and am using my Tesla charger for now.

The charger didn’t come in the fancy bag like the website shows. 😂

there may be a shortage. if you configure any EV on bmwusa.com now, you will actually see a "NEMA charger credit" of $250 at the summary page.

ps: mine came with the 220v adapter.

edit: seems EV doesn't get impacted but PHEV is. they are prioritize EV as they should

below is a screenshot from 750e configuration summary page

I did receive the 14-50 adapter but no bag either. When I brought it to the attention of my sales person, he ordered one for me free of charge.
