Plug & Charge
Charging process
Principle
With Plug & Charge, data from multiple charg-
ing contracts with different charging providers
can be saved to the vehicle. At compatible
charging stations, the vehicle automatically
sends saved data to the charging station. This
makes it easier to charge at public charging
stations that are settled by charging contract.
Once the charging cable is connected, charg-
ing can begin immediately.
Principle
The charging process can be adapted to con-
straints such as the cost of electricity, available
current sources, or a low ambient temperature.
The vehicle controls the charging process in
such a way that the charging process is com-
pleted if possible at the departure time. A de-
parture time must be set for this purpose.
General information
General information
A contract with a charging service provider is
usually required for public charging stations.
To log in at the charging station, enter your
contract information into the charging station,
e.g., by using a charging card. With Plug &
Charge, there is no need to manually log in at
the charging station any more.
High or low outside temperatures can cause
longer charging times.
When charging the vehicle, a charge target can
be set, thereby shortening the charging dura-
tion.
If the Mode 2 charging cable is exposed to
high temperatures and direct sunlight, this may
interrupt the charging process. Charging will
resume automatically.
More information on Plug & Charge is
provided in the My BMW App or online:
A charging procedure is canceled or not
started due to the installation of a Remote
Software Upgrade. The charging procedure
may not continue automatically after the suc-
cessful installation.
