FAQ: THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HOME CHARGING.

How can I charge at home?

Depending on the model, the standard charging cable (Mode 2) or the Flexible Fast Charger is included when you buy an electrified BMW – so you can charge your vehicle with any standard household socket. The Flexible Fast 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. Two models are available:

BMW WALLBOX.

The BMW Wallbox features a maximum power of up to 22 kW, a minimalist and weatherproof design, integrated cable storage, and Bluetooth connectivity. And user identification is possible with the My BMW App*.

What do I need to consider before selecting a home charging solution?

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

Who will install my Wallbox or an industrial socket for the Flexible Fast Charger at my home?

You can quite simply book our installation service along with your Wallbox. This guarantees that your Wallbox is installed and set up safely and professionally. Incidentally, the service can also be booked for our efficient industrial socket if you wish to use your Flexible Fast Charger with the appropriate adapter at home.

Can I drive an electric vehicle if I have no charging option at home?

Yes you can. All BMW i models comes with free charging packages.

BMW electric vehicles today have long range and therefore do not require frequent charging. You can make use public charging stations to top up the battery whether you are at a destination, or at a on-the-go fast charging station with DC chargers.

BMW also offers public charging package to customers who have no possibility of installing a private charger at home car park.
Please head over to the public charging section to find out!

FAQ: THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON PUBLIC CHARGING.

Where can I charge while travelling?

Almost everywhere! With BMW Charging, we offer a constantly growing and multi-regional network of public charging points, including high-power charging stations from various providers. For detailed information on the availability of your area’s public charging infrastructure or other relevant locations, visit www.bmw-charging.com or simply display public charging points through BMW Maps in your vehicle's navigation system or the My BMW App*. The charging cable (Mode 3) for public charging and the BMW Charging Card are included with your new electric vehicle (offer varies by market). As a BMW driver, you also receive exclusive and attractive conditions and benefits in the BMW Charging Network. Simply register at bmw-charging.com

How can I find a suitable charging option when on the go?

You can use the app or BMW Maps in your vehicle's navigation system. You can add a filter to find charging points for alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), and high-power charging (HPC). The vehicle's navigation system will then display a suitable charging station. You can do the same with the My BMW App*. Either way, the charging points are clearly identified and with extended functionalities, such as local points of interest, status, and additional information on each charging station.

The calculation takes into account consumption and charging performance. Values refer to 29–33 degrees Celsius battery start and ambient temperature with certification values excluding additional auxiliary consumers such as seat heating, displays, air conditioning. Individual consumption may vary (depending on e.g. driving profile, temperature, ambient conditions) as well as the individually achievable charging performance (depending on e.g. battery state of charge, vehicle air conditioning). Consumption is based on WLTP best case. Charging performance is based on the maximum possible charging performance (depending on charging type and vehicle).

BMW Charging is our all-round carefree solution for charging your BMW. Products and services from BMW Charging provide you with numerous tailor-made offers for charging at home and at public charging stations.In addition, most vehicles are supplied with the Flexible Fast Charger for convenient charging at home.

How can I check the charging status?

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.​Text here ...

What are the optimal battery charging levels for my BMW electric car?

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.​

What should I look out for when charging my BMW plug-in hybrid?

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.

What is the difference between charging with alternating current (AC), direct current (DC) and a high power charging point (HPC)?

​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.

What’s the best way to prepare my vehicle for the next trip?

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.
