Charging accessories for your electric car.

Your BMW Charging Card.

Your personal charging card is your ticket to access the BMW Charging network. You can easily identify and charge your electric car or hybrid vehicle on the road at public charging stations using the BMW Charging Card. Alternatively, you can use digital authentication via the My BMW App⁵.

Your fast charging cable (Mode 3) for public charging.

The fast charging cable (Mode 3) for public AC charging offers full flexibility and lets you quickly charge your fully electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid vehicle. Thanks to its length of five metres, it is easy to use at public charging stations.

Benefits of the Multifunction Charger.

The Multifunction Charger lets you charge your vehicle when out and about. When used with the appropriate Mode 3 adapter, you can use it at any public AC charging station with a power output of up to 11 kW. The 6-metre cable gives you plenty of room to park at the charging station. You can also charge your vehicle at home using the adapter supplied.

Straightforward charging.

Intelligent charging flap.

The intelligent charging flap of your new BMW iX3 makes charging simpler and easier. The flap opens automatically as soon as your vehicle detects that you wish to charge. Once you have removed the charging plug, the flap closes automatically after a few seconds.

Spacious storage compartment under the bonnet.

You can store the Multifunction Charger and associated adapters in the spacious 40-litre storage compartment under the bonnet of your new BMW iX3. The storage compartment can also be used for the fast charging cable (Mode 3) for public AC charging and the tyre repair kit Plus, for example.

Legal notice.

BMW i3 50 xDrive Sedan²: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in kWh/100 km¹: 18–13,4; Electric range, WLTP in km: 729–912

¹ Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195.

Further information about fuel consumption and official model-specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the "Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption for new passenger cars", available free of charge at all points of sale, at the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany, and under https://www.dat.de/co2/.

² The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

³ The charging performance depends on vehicle equipment, the state of charge and health of the battery, battery temperature, individual driving profile, use of auxiliary users, ambient temperature, and the charging power provided at the charging station.

⁵ The My BMW app is compatible with all BMW cars from model year 2014 onwards. It needs ConnectedDrive Services equipment to be fitted, and use of a compatible smartphone. The availability and functions of the My BMW app vary according to the market.
