At the charger
How fast does the BMW iX charge?
Estimated 10–80% session times for the iX xDrive60 (109.1 kWh useable), computed by PlugSphere from the battery size, the 22 kW onboard AC charger and a typical DC charging power of 150 kW.
| Charger | Effective power | 10–80% time | Range added per 10 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.4 kW AC | ~6.7 kW | ~11 h 28 min | ~5 km |
| 11 kW AC | ~9.9 kW | ~7 h 43 min | ~8 km |
| 22 kW AC | ~19.8 kW | ~3 h 51 min | ~16 km |
| 50 kW DC | ~50 kW | ~1 h 32 min | ~40 km |
| 150 kW DC | ~150 kW | ~31 min | ~120 km |
| 350 kW DC | ~150 kW | ~31 min | ~120 km |
Method: 10–80% covers 70% of the useable battery; AC assumes ~90% charging efficiency; DC assumes the session averages the car's typical charging power up to the charger's limit. Real sessions vary with temperature and battery state.

The details
BMW iX specifications
BMW iX — common questions
Answers computed from this model's data in the PlugSphere database.
Does the BMW iX have a heat pump?
Yes — a heat pump is available, which helps protect driving range in cold weather.
Can the BMW iX tow?
Yes — a towbar is approved with a braked rating of 2,500 kg.
Can it power external devices (V2L)?
No — vehicle-to-load is not supported on this model.
What battery does the BMW iX use?
The reference variant uses a NCM pack with 109.1 kWh of useable capacity.
Which public chargers can the BMW iX use?
The BMW iX charges via Type 2 CCS. On the PlugSphere map that matches 144,123 stations worldwide, of which 38,056 offer 50 kW+ DC fast charging.
How much does it cost to fully charge a BMW iX?
With its 109.1 kWh useable battery, a full charge costs about €32.73 at a €0.30/kWh home tariff or roughly €65.46 at a €0.60/kWh public DC charger — before any session or idle fees. Put your own local price into the PlugSphere charging-cost calculator for an exact figure per country and per session.
How long will I be waiting at a charger with a BMW iX?
Plan around 31 minutes for the usual 10–80% stop at a 150 kW charger — the BMW iX sustains roughly 150 kW in a DC session. On AC, a full overnight charge at 11 kW takes about 11 hours. The charging-time calculator covers any charger power and state of charge.
How long does the BMW iX battery last?
Expect the pack to outlast its industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity: fleet telemetry shows EV batteries losing only around 1.8–2% a year on average. The iX uses NCM chemistry — keep daily charging near 80% to age it gently.
How much does a BMW iX battery replacement cost?
Out of warranty, a 109.1 kWh pack costs roughly €10,900–€19,600 at 2026 pack-level prices of €100–180 per kWh, plus labour. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a failing pack is replaced free, and single-module repairs are often a fraction of the full price.
Should I charge the BMW iX to 100% every night?
Daily 80% is the kinder habit for this model (NCM chemistry) — reserve 100% charges for long-trip days. Only LFP-battery EVs are designed for routine full charging.
Where should I stop on a long BMW iX trip — and what is plan B?
The PlugSphere route planner spaces stops for the BMW iX's real range (segments of roughly 420 km with a 90% start and 10% reserve) and picks stations along the actual road route — each suggested stop comes with two nearby backup chargers in case the first is busy or offline.
