Alongside the electric motors and high-voltage batteries, new charging technology is also part of the 5th generation BMW eDrive. The Combined Charging Unit (CCU) in the BMW iX enables an extremely high level of flexibility when charging. The CCU brings together the functions of the voltage transformer, charging electronics and power distribution, plus the management systems for the drive, high-voltage and charging functions of the drive units, into a single package. Hooking up the high-voltage battery to a Level 2 Wallbox allows it to be topped up with AC at a charging rate of up to 11 kW. Using a Level 2 charger, the BMW iX xDrive50 can recharge its battery from 0 to 100 percent in under eleven hours.

The BMW iX xDrive50 can also charge its high-voltage battery at up to 195 kW using a DC fast charger. Plugging the BMW iX xDrive50 into a fast-charging station with 10 percent charge for example, enables its range to be increased by up to 90 miles in just ten minutes at 195 kW. Using the same fast charger, it would take less than 40 minutes to increase the high-voltage battery’s state of charge from 10 to 80 percent.
