The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
that work on the charging connection, for in‐
stance cleaning, be performed only by an au‐
thorized BMW i dealer's service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Charging cable
General information
Use a Level 1 charging cable, Level 2 charging
cable or the permanently installed charging cable
of a charging station to charge the vehicle.
Different charging cables can be required de‐
pending on the country.
Safety information
WARNING
Non-compatible charging cables or unsuitable
charging stations can heat up and cause dam‐
age to the vehicle. There is a risk of fire. Use
charging cables or charging stations for charg‐
ing that are suitable for the respective vehicle
type.
A dealer's service center will be glad to provide
information about suitable charging cables.
WARNING
Improper use of the charging cable can prevent
charging and lead to damage, for instance ca‐
ble fire. There is a risk of fire. Use the charging
cable only for charging the vehicle, and do not
extend it using cables or adapters.
WARNING
Damaged charging cables can heat up or lead
to an electric shock. There is a risk of fire or a
risk of injury. Use undamaged charging cables
only.
Level 1 charging cable
The vehicle is supplied with a Level 1 charging
cable.
With the Level 1 charging cable, it is permissible
to perform charging from grounded household
sockets. At the power connection of a household
socket, charging is done with alternating current.
When a Level 1 charging cable is used, this may
produce efficiency values other than indicated on
the energy label.
Level 2 charging cable
The Level 2 charging cable makes it possible to
quickly recharge at sockets of designated
Level 2 charging stations using a special plug.
Charging is performed with alternating current at
designated Level 2 charging stations. The charg‐
ing process can be completed faster than at
household sockets.
If necessary, the charging cable is attached to
the charging station.
Storage
The Level 1 charging cable is located in the sep‐
arate area on the right-hand side of the cargo
area.
The Level 2 charging cable can be stored in the
same place.
If required, store the charging cable with the in‐
stalled plug cover to prevent moisture in the
charging cable plug.
