BMW iX xDrive40
The BMW iX xDrive40 will be equipped with a 76.6 kWh battery. This capacity will only allow a drive of 400 km, but it is still better than the Audi e-tron SUV. The XDrive40 will also get two electric motors, which will give it all-wheel drive but only produce 240 kW (300 horsepower). According to BMW, the xDrive40 will take 6.1 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h.
As for charging, the BMW iX will have excellent charging speeds on compatible 200 kW DC fast chargers. At the moment, that’s faster than the fastest Teslas. At this speed, the BMW iX can charge from 10 to 80 percent of its battery in just 31 minutes. There’s also a ten-minute fast charge that can quickly charge 90 percent of the way for the xDrive40.
Some of the more affordable options on the BMW iX will be a massive panoramic sunroof, which will be the largest sunroof fitted on any BMW model, and there will also be electrostatic dimming. There will also be a Bowers & Wilkins 4D surround sound system with thirty speakers, eight of which are in the car’s headrests.
The BMW iX is now well positioned to stand up to cars like the Audi e-tron and Tesla Model X. It is priced similarly to those cars; in terms of specifications, it has competitive ranges, power, and performance, and actually boasts best-in-class pricing and speed.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)
A public charging station is required to use the highest possible charging rate. The EVSE/charging station’s charging capacity affects how long it takes to fully charge the battery. The table below shows all possible options for fully charging the BMW iX xDrive40.
In Europe, plugging an electric car into an outlet is often as easy as plugging it into a household outlet, but there are differences from country to country. The table below shows the different ways to charge the BMW iX xDrive40, but in some countries some chargers may not be available.
Type 2 (Mennekes – IEC 62196)

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
If you want to enjoy driving an electric car, one of the most important features to consider is the number of miles per hour the car can travel while charged. This is called the “range” of the car. All electric cars have a certain range, even if they are 100% charged. This is because they do not have an internal combustion engine to lean on if you need to drive a long distance.
Max. Power: The maximum power provided by the charging point
Avg. Power: The average power provided by the charging point during a session of 10% to 80%.
Time: the time it takes to charge from 10% to 80%
