BMW i3 50 xDrive Sedan: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in kWh/100 km¹: 18–13.4; Electric range, WLTP in km²: 729–912
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.
Charge with peace of mind: simply, any time and any place. Electric cars and plug-in hybrids herald a new kind of mobility that is both efficient and convenient. So now you can drive without a care every day and on longer trips, thanks to flexible charging options and most modern charging technologies. Either quickly on the go or conveniently at home.

Whether you’re on a trip or going about your daily routine. You are guaranteed to find plenty of charging options with over 800,000 charging points throughout Europe. The BMW Charging Network⁷ is being continuously expanded to provide access to even more charging stations.
Plug & Charge. Charge & go.
More than just charging technology. BMW Plug & Charge takes you into the future of electric mobility. The system automatically detects and authenticates your car as soon as you connect it to a Plug & Charge capable charging station. And, thanks to the multi-contract function, you can choose one of several saved charging contracts from different providers. Whether private or business. It's up to you.
The charging times of electric cars.
Charging your electric car at high-power charging stations is the fastest method. You benefit from shorter charging times and higher charging speeds thanks to the high charging power at these DC charging stations. For instance, the new BMW iX3 takes only ten minutes to charge for 309 - 372 kilometres⁴.

Charging accessories for your electric car.
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.
Innovative Features for effortless Charging.

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 on the NEDC and WLTP testing procedures can be found at https://www.bmw.com/wltp
Further information on the official fuel consumption and official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the ‘Guide to the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electricity consumption of new passenger cars’, which is available free of charge at all sales outlets, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth Hirth Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern Scharnhausen, and at 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.
⁴ The added range after 10 minutes of high-power charging was determined according to ISO12906 in the WLTP cycle and requires that the charging infrastructure enables the maximum DC charging power. The added range and charging performance depend on vehicle equipment, battery state of charge and health, ambient and battery temperature, driving profile, auxiliary users, vehicle-specific charging settings, and the charging power provided by 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 are market-dependent.
⁶ Market-specific offer applies to new vehicles purchased from BMW branches and dealerships in Europe in the BMW Charging network.
