The charging times of electric cars.
Charging your electric car at high-power charging stations is the fastest method. You benefit from shorter charging times and higher charging speeds thanks to the high charging power at these DC charging stations.

Charging accessories for your electric car.
Your fast charging cable (Mode 3) for public charging.
The fast charging cable (Mode 3) for public AC charging offers full flexibility and lets you quickly charge your fully electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid vehicle. Thanks to its length of five metres, it is easy to use at public charging stations.
Benefits of the Multifunction Charger.
The Multifunction Charger lets you charge your vehicle when out and about. When used with the appropriate Mode 3 adapter, you can use it at any public AC charging station with a power output of up to 11 kW. The 6-metre cable gives you plenty of room to park at the charging station. You can also charge your vehicle at home using the adapter supplied.
Straightforward charging.
Intelligent charging flap.
The intelligent charging flap of your new BMW iX3 makes charging simpler and easier. The flap opens automatically as soon as your vehicle detects that you wish to charge. Once you have removed the charging plug, the flap closes automatically after a few seconds.
Spacious storage compartment under the bonnet.
You can store the Multifunction Charger and associated adapters in the spacious 40-litre storage compartment under the bonnet of your new BMW iX3. The storage compartment can also be used for the fast charging cable (Mode 3) for public AC charging and the tyre repair kit Plus, for example.
