BMW CHARGING.

Depending on the model, the standard charging cable (Mode 2) or the Flexible Charger is included when you buy an electric or plug-in hybrid BMW – so you can charge your vehicle with any standard household socket. The Flexible Charger can also be used – with a suitable adapter cable available separately – at industrial sockets (high voltage) with a maximum power of up to 11 kW.

For added convenience, speed, and safety, you can select a wallbox to significantly reduce charging times when compared to standard household sockets.

POD POINT SOLO 3 SMART HOME CHARGER

The home charger from our partner Pod Point offers easy and convenient charging. You can choose between 7kW and 22kW (three-phase supply only). View, track and manage your charging in the Pod Point App.

Before selecting a home charging solution, you should check the connection conditions of the power company providing electricity to your home.

It is prohibited to use an extension cable and/or multi-plug connectors. A charging rate of 1.4 kW at 6 A is set as the default. You can either switch this current limitation off entirely in the vehicle settings menu or set the AC charging current to the precise amperage according to your electrical installation.

It goes without saying that you can use the steadily expanding public charging network of BMW Charging or other charging stations as available (charging tariffs may apply). The My BMW App* or the navigation system in your vehicle shows you public charge points in the vicinity. You will also find an overview of public charging infrastructure in the Ireland at www.bmw-charging.com – this is where you can find out about charge points near your home, or your place of work, as well as places of interest in your current surroundings.

It’s best to maintain a charge of between 10 and 80 per cent. Lower or higher levels are possible, but to optimise the life of your battery, it is recommended to stay between 10 and 80 per cent. In your vehicle’s menu, you can easily and conveniently set your target charge to 80 per cent, so you’ll never have to worry about it.

A target charge of 80 per cent should cover all your daily driving needs. If you actually need more, simply set a higher target.

As its name suggests, a plug-in hybrid can be charged from a socket, a Wallbox or at a public charging station. When you are on the road, you need the charging cable for public charging (mode 3), which is included as standard equipment in Ireland. The maximum efficiency of a plug-in hybrid is achieved with a fully charged battery; which means that a charging facility should ideally be available at home and at the workplace. Charge your BMW plug-in hybrid as often as possible so that you can always make full use of the additional electric drive.

Basically, the time needed to charge will vary. For electric vehicles, charging takes longer with alternating current (AC) – depending on the cable and charging point – and direct current (DC)* is significantly faster. Ultra-fast charging via direct current (DC)* is possible at High Power Charging (HPC)* charging stations, which are offered by our partner IONITY in Europe. The battery of a BMW iX, for example, can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in less than 40 minutes with a maximum power of 200 kW.
 
Please note: when charging DC and HPC, you should hold the charging plug on the vehicle until the plug is locked. This ensures that the charging process starts without a problem.
 
* Currently only relevant for BMW electric vehicles.

Most charging stations provide under 50kW and deliver slower charging times. Charging times are also affected by other factors, such as the battery temperature, condition and starting charge, vehicle equipment running during charging, the outside temperature and other factors. Stated charging times are based on optimum charging conditions. Charging over 80% slows to protect the battery. Network provider charges apply.

Yes, no problem. The BMW iX xDrive50 offers a range of up to 613 km* (WLTP), whilst the BMW i4 eDrive40 can travel up to 589 km* (WLTP). 

To get the most out of your vehicle right from the start, it is advisable to precondition the vehicle interior. Heating and cooling require energy. For that reason, it makes sense to bring your vehicle to the desired temperature while it’s still plugged in, so you can start your trip with the maximum range. It’s easy to set the departure time and “pre-condition” to the desired climate using the My BMW App* or the vehicle menu. That way, you’ll have a full charge and the perfect temperature right when you’re ready to leave – automatically.
