The charging process can be adapted to con‐
straints, for instance the cost of electricity. The

The following settings are available:
▷ Immediate charging.
▷ Set time window for favorable charging.
▷ Set charging via a Level 1 charging cable.
▷ Set charging via a Level 2 charging cable.
If drive-ready state is switched off, changes can
be made via iDrive. Departure time can only be
changed once. Scheduled departure times are
not adjusted. Settings for stationary climate con‐
trol and charging process are also accepted for
planned departure times.
