High-voltage battery
The high-voltage battery serves as an energy
store. The high-voltage battery can be charged
during the journey by energy recuperation or
from the electrical mains.
To optimally operate the high-voltage battery,
charge the vehicle regularly and fully on a suita‐
ble charging fixture.
The following different options are available for
charging from the mains:
▷ Domestic socket outlet.
▷ AC charging station.
The battery can be charged at a domestic socket
outlet in a voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.
For optimum use of energy from the grid, charg‐
ing at a charging station, for example BMW Wall‐
box, is recommended.
Charge current
General
Charging current intensity is specified in amps.
The vehicle cannot automatically detect the max‐
imum permitted charge current intensity of the
grid when charging at a domestic socket outlet.
Charging at a domestic socket
outlet
Before charging for the first time at your own do‐
mestic socket outlet, and when charging at other
domestic socket outlets, first find out the permit‐
ted charge current intensity, for example by con‐
sulting a qualified electrician.
The current limitation for the charging current in‐
tensity can be set using iDrive.
Current limitation
General
Current limitation for charging via the mode 2
charging cable can be set.
The vehicle is charged at different charge current
intensities depending on the mains network. The
charging current limit is set to the lowest level as
standard.
Setting current limitation
1. "CAR"
2. "Plan charg./climate"
3. Tilt the Controller to the right.
4. "Settings"
5. "AC settings"
6. "Current limit"
7. Select the desired setting.
The setting is saved. When charging the charg‐
ing location, change the setting accordingly.
For foreign domestic sockets, set the charging
current intensity to the lowest level.
Maintaining the charge
state
If it is necessary to save a certain electric range
for a later point in the journey, for example, the
BATTERY CONTROL function can maintain or
raise the current charge state of the high-voltage
battery.
Charging cable
General
To charge the vehicle, use a mode 2 charging
cable, a mode 3 charging cable or a fixed cable of
a charging station.
Depending on the country, different charging ca‐
bles can be required.
