Be flexible, use public charging stations.
Conveniently park and charge your car the next time you go into town. The public charging of electric cars and plug-in hybrids offers you total flexibility. On longer journeys or when travelling, charge your all-electric car ultra-fast at high-power charging stations. Charging cables for the public charging network are included when you purchase your BMW electric car.
Charge quick and arrive faster.
Save valuable time with ultra-fast charging. On the go, at high-power charging stations. The connected Navigation in your BMW electric car lets you see charging stations in advance. This helps to shorten longer journeys, as you can charge plenty of range in a very short time.
The charging times of electric cars.
Charging your electric car at high-power charging stations is the fastest method. Thanks to their high charging power, these stations offer very short charging times. For instance, a iX xDrive45 needs to charge for just 10 minutes to gain 131 - 168 kilometres[3]. With the BMW Wallbox or BMW Flexible Fast Charger, a iX xDrive45 can be fully charged conveniently at home in 9:45 / 5:00 hours.[2]

Actual figures will depend on many factors including traffic conditions, driving habits, prevailing conditions and your vehicle’s equipment, condition and use. These figures should not be expected to be achieved in real world driving conditions and should only be used for comparing one vehicle with another. Please contact your preferred authorised BMW dealer or BMW Group Australia for information on vehicles that are available for sale, and the various specifications and options of vehicles that are available.

The charging times apply to ambient temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius after a preceding drive and may differ depending on the usage behaviour.
[3] The recharged range in km after 10 minutes of High-Power-Charging was determined according to DIN70080 in the WLTP cycle. It depends on the vehicle equipment, individual driving profile, ambient temperature, charging status and the use of additional consumers.
