Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | BMW iX | Lynk&Co 02 |
|---|---|---|
| Battery (approx.) | ~71 kWh | ~62 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~425 km | ~415 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~197 Wh/km | ~175 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | up to 148 kW | up to 150 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~34 min | ~28 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 22 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Lynk&Co 02 has a peak DC charging speed of 150 kW, which is roughly 1% faster than the BMW iX at 148 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Lynk&Co 02 finishes in about 28 minutes, which is 6 minutes quicker than the BMW iX at 34 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The BMW iX has a WLTP rated range of approximately 425 km, which is roughly 10 km more than the Lynk&Co 02 at approximately 415 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Lynk&Co 02 consumes 175 Wh/km, compared to 197 Wh/km for the BMW iX. That means the Lynk&Co 02 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The BMW iX has approximately 71 kWh of useable battery , while the Lynk&Co 02 has approximately 62 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Lynk&Co 02 wins on both peak power (up to 150 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 28 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Lynk&Co 02 supports up to 22 kW, compared to 11 kW for the BMW iX. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Lynk&Co 02 is the more efficient choice at 175 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the BMW iX has a WLTP rated range of approximately 425 km, which is roughly 10 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
