BMW iX xDrive40 Charging Guide: Speed, Time & Costs

Charging guide

Home and Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

As a BMW iX xDrive40 owner, it's important to know your options when it comes to charging your electric vehicle. There are two main methods available: a traditional wall plug or a modern charging station. While the wall plug may be convenient for at-home charging, it doesn't have the necessary power to charge your BMW iX xDrive40 quickly or efficiently. This makes a charging station the superior choice, especially when traveling. It's important to note that the charging speed you'll experience is determined by the charging station or EVSE you choose and your EV's maximum charging capacity. To help you make the best choice, we've provided a comprehensive list of available charging options for your BMW iX xDrive40, along with their estimated charging times for a full charge starting from empty.

Europe

Charging an electric vehicle (EV) in Europe can vary depending on the country. The power grid in some European countries is based on 1-phase connections, while others use mainly 3-phase connections. The table below depicts all the potential methods of charging a BMW iX xDrive40. However, certain charging modes might not be accessible in certain countries. Hence, it is recommended to check with your local electric vehicle charging networks to determine which options are available to you.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	36h30m	10 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	22h45m	16 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	11h30m	31 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	7h45m	46 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	7h45m	46 km/h
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	36h30m	10 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	22h45m	16 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	11h30m	31 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	7h45m	46 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x32A	22 kW †	4 hours	90 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Efficient and speedy charging is vital when it comes to extending the distance of your journey, by providing the necessary charging amount in the least amount of time. Nonetheless, it's important to acknowledge that the charging rate will considerably decrease after the state of charge reaches 80%. As a consequence, quick charging usually won't exceed an 80% SOC. The charging speed of an electric vehicle is based on the charging station utilized as well as the maximum charging power ability of the EV. To fully understand how to quickly charge your BMW iX xDrive40, we have prepared a comprehensive table with all the relevant details below.

• Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
• Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
• Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
• Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
