High Power Charging for your fully electric BMW – BMW How-To

Learn in this video what to consider when charging your BMW iX3 and other fully electric BMWs at a High Power DC Charging station. High Power Charging facilities can be useful during a journey when charging needs to go fast. You can charge with maximum charging capacity and speed when: the battery’s state of charge is low, the system is on operating temperature, and the charging settings, which can be found by going to “CAR”, “Plan Charging/Climate”, “Settings”, “DC Settings” are set to ‘Automatic’ or ‘Not limited’. Choose “Automatic” or “Limited” to reduce noise emissions while charging. You can set a “Target State of Charge” in the same Charge Settings Menu. High power charging at public charging stations is only recommendable up to a state of charge of 80 % as the remaining time charge up to 100% is significantly longer. Make sure that the DC charging station you wish to use offers High Power Charging, with sufficient charging power. The specified charging power a charging station can theoretically provide can be higher or lower than the charging power the vehicle can be charged with.

Hi, I am seeing a considerable reduced range and charging speed in Winter. Anything I can do differently?
E.g. Precondition the battery before charging (not sure if it is possible for iX3)?
I used to get 400kms+ range in Summer but I am afraid, the car will not last a day trip to ski slopes which is 280km round trip.

I love my iX3 now if only I could get a reply to get an English manual, even if a PDF from BMW would be fantastic. (FYI I live in China and the model doesn't have an English guide, and they told me can't get it! WTF they can only supply Chinese. Outstanding car for the EV world.

Can I charge my iX3 at Porsche and Tesla charge points? It was working fine at the local Porsche garage until this week. Been back to the BMW dealer who told me you cant use a 350kwh charger as its to powerful. Then backtracked and said it was because Porsches technology is different. Strange as I had been using it up until a week ago! Don't know if it has any bearing but I installed a software update over a week ago, could this cause a problem?
