BMW iX xDrive50
The BMW iX xDrive50 is an all-electric SUV produced by the German automaker BMW. It was first unveiled in November 2020 and is scheduled to go on sale in various global markets in 2022.
The iX xDrive50 features a 111.5 kWh battery pack and two electric motors with a combined output of 386 kW, and 765 Nm of torque. This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (60 mph) in just 4.6 seconds and its top speed is 200 km/h.
According to BMW, the vehicle has a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge, and it can be charged from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 40 minutes with a fast-acting DC charger.
In terms of design, the iX xDrive50 has a futuristic and aerodynamic look, with a large dual grille, sleek LED headlights, and a sloping roof line. The interior features a modern and minimalist design, with a large curved display screen that takes up the entire dashboard.
The iX xDrive50 also includes advanced technology features such as a head-up display, voice-activated digital assistant, and advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning.

ome 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 xDrive50.
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 xDrive50, but in some countries some chargers may not be available.
Type 2 (Mennekes – IEC 62196)
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 54 hours | 9 km/h |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 33h30m | 15 km/h |
| 1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) | 230V / 1x32A | 7.4 kW | 16h45m | 30 km/h |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW | 11h15m | 45 km/h |
| 3-phase 32A (22 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW | 11h15m | 45 km/h |
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%
Speed: the average charging rate during the session of 10% to 80%
Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Avg. Power | Time | Rate |
