Easy. Use the My BMW app* in your smartphone or in the car to see the current status and the available range of your electric vehicle.

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 in the scope of delivery in Europe. The maximum efficiency of a plug-in hybrid is achieved with a fully charged battery; which means that a charging facility should 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.

Yes, no problem. For particularly fast charging, you can use the High-Power Charging (HPC) stations of our partner IONITY along the main European motorways.The My BMW App* or the navigation system in the vehicle will show you right where they are. All you need to do is set a search filter. With a BMW iX, for example, you can charge up to 150 kilometres of additional reach with a short coffee break of around ten minutes. If you take a longer break at an HPC charging station, you can charge the BMW iX from 10 to 80 per cent in about 35 minutes – whether you can take advantage of the vehicle’s maximum power handling of up to 200 kW depends on the local infrastructure.*** Access to the IONITY network is available through BMW Charging at particularly attractive conditions.

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.
