How does the BMW iX recharge its batteries?

I've heard about the BMW iX's long range and fast charging capabilities, but I'm curious about how it actually recharges its batteries. Can I use a standard outlet or do I need specialized equipment?

Hi Sophia, great question. The BMW iX comes with a standard charging cable that can be plugged into a regular household outlet. However, for faster charging times, it is recommended to use a wallbox or public charging station with a higher voltage and amperage. With the right equipment, the iX can charge up to 80% in just 35 minutes.

Hi Sophia, in addition to a standard charging cable and wallbox option, the BMW iX also offers wireless charging through an induction plate that can be installed in your garage or parking spot. This eliminates the need for any cables and makes charging even more convenient.

Hey Sophia, one more thing to note is that the BMW iX also has regenerative braking, which helps to recharge the batteries while driving. This can add some extra range for your daily commutes and is a great way to extend your driving time before needing to charge.
