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.

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%
