Depending on the model, the standard charging cable (Mode 2) or the Flexible Charger is included when you buy an electric or plug-in hybrid BMW – so you can charge your vehicle with any standard household socket. The Flexible 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.
POD POINT SOLO 3 SMART HOME CHARGER
The home charger from our partner Pod Point offers easy and convenient charging. You can choose between 7kW and 22kW (three-phase supply only). View, track and manage your charging in the Pod Point App.
Before selecting a home charging solution, you should check the connection conditions of the power company providing electricity to your home.
It is prohibited to use an extension cable and/or multi-plug connectors. A charging rate of 1.4 kW at 6 A is set as the default. You can either switch this current limitation off entirely in the vehicle settings menu or set the AC charging current to the precise amperage according to your electrical installation.
For a safe and faster home charging solution that offers additional functionality, such as remote charge scheduling, BMW Charging offers you the smart home charger Solo 3 from our Premium Partner Pod Point. View your charging activity and keep track of costs and energy usage from your smartphone all in one place, via the Pod Point App.
The installation is included in the purchase of your Pod Point home charger. This guarantees that your charger is installed and set up safely and professionally.
It goes without saying that you can use the steadily expanding public charging network of BMW Charging or other charging stations as available (charging tariffs may apply). The My BMW App or the navigation system in your vehicle shows you public charge points in the vicinity. You will also find an overview of public charging infrastructure in the UK at www.bmw-charging.com – this is where you can find out about charge points near your home, or your place of work, as well as places of interest in your current surroundings.
