Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at home overnight with a wallbox. The iX1's 64.7 kWh battery fills comfortably on an 11 kW charger in about 6 hours, and home rates keep the cost per charge well below what you would pay at a public station.
- Use BMW's charging schedule to start charging during off-peak hours. Even small per-kWh savings add up over a month when you are charging a 64.7 kWh battery regularly.
- The iX1 supports DC fast charging at up to 128 kW, which is moderate. Plan road trip stops to arrive below 20% and leave at 80%. The charging speed above 80% is noticeably slower.
- With 380 km of range, the iX1 handles most daily driving on a single home charge. Avoid topping up at expensive public chargers for convenience when you have enough range to get home.
- Keep the climate system in auto mode rather than cranking the heat or AC to max. The iX1's cabin is relatively compact, so it heats and cools quickly without needing maximum power.
Set a daily home charge limit of 80%, giving you about 305 km, more than enough for typical commuting. The iX1's moderate battery size means home charging is quick and inexpensive. Use public fast charging for occasional longer trips, not as a daily habit.
