I own a BMW x1 hybrid vehicle. After charging the vehicle, I don't want it to remain on power after the charge is full. Maybe it won't do any harm, I don't know, but it's not something I want. If I put a socket with a timer and set the time, would it be harmful if it cuts off the electricity at a certain time? Normally, it says in the manual that when the charge is finished, first remove the charging cable from the vehicle and then cut off the electricity. I will cut off the electricity first by using a timer. Will this cause any damage? Or is it necessary? I would be very happy if you answer. Thank you.
I have a 4kw solar and I can charge my 530e in about 3.5 hours. The size of the solar system makes a difference it is the length of time. The min. Solar output to charge solely from it would be 2.5k. The charging is either set at 13 amps or 30 amps. For the higher you would need a dedicated charging outlet as opposed to the ring main.
I just got my new 2022 X5 and tried the 120 plug. It's giving me FAULT indicator when plugged into the garage outlet or outside outlet. I didn't even plug into the car yet. I thought it would be the outlet problem. But I have no issue with my Toyota charging plug. So now I'm using my Toyota plug to charge the BMW but at half the charging speed. Do I have a faulty BMW charging adapter?
An extension cable is fine, but make sure the wire gauge is 12 or lower so the wire doesn’t overheat and start a fire. Definitely don’t use a standard extension cord you were using for Christmas lights 😅
Thanks for these how to videos. Just saved me a mint since you cant use an extension cord, it makes a PHEV into an overpriced and heavy gas guzzling 3 series for me.
You "can" use an extension cord. Brands preffer to not recommend it however, since if you use a cheap cable, it will overheat and is a risk of fire or property damage. Using a good 16A rated cable is good enough. For permanent changing spots, having a outlet fitted or even better, a wallbox is better though
Constantly getting error "Unable to charge" on 330e, it never clears. No way to reset the error, tried several chargers, restarts, waiting etc. The only in-car option is to call BMW recovery, who hang up on me after hearing what the problem is. Then the phone number for BMW recovery stopped working! Very disappointing from BMW. How can you sell a PHEV that won't charge with bundled charger??? And when there is an error, there is no explanation or way to reset it? Now I'll be left in the clutches of a local dealer who are useless other than to overcharge me for things the car doesn't need done. They are many miles away and no courtesy car, anything nearby or public transport so I am stuck there for a whole day (if I'm lucky they can fix it on the same day) or have to pay £50 one way for a cab. According to several people with this error on the forums, BMW can clear the error remotely - why oh why does this have to be remote and can't be done in the car??? Very frustrating experience with BMW every step of the way. Don't believe a word they say anymore.
Failure. .why on earth is the plug in front sdie of the car? Everybody are back in when parking. Power cable will scrape up the paint on the side. Look at the Toyota Prius / RAV.. all in the back.
Hi +Tadetad thank you for your message. If you require any technical assistance please contact your BMW dealer directly. They will be happy to assist.

1:04 shes so confused
I have a 240v plug installed, can i just get a 240v level 2 charger and plug it into the wall socket, or does it need that charging station?
Wow . I love BMW so much
Loving my i8, just wish I had gotten the roadster
I have the roadster your coupe is faster.
@@EchilonCommunication do you know what the charger is called??
How is it?
Can I use a 6 plug wall adapter to charge hybrid? I only have 1 2 outlet in garage and need them for my camera and remote garage door thing
What kind of solar panel installation would you need to charge your BMW 330e?
a large enough one to produce a current and voltage to generate 10 kWh of energy
I have a 4kw solar and I can charge my 530e in about 3.5 hours. The size of the solar system makes a difference it is the length of time. The min. Solar output to charge solely from it would be 2.5k.

I have a 225xe active tourer and the charge is canceled after locking the door or even after a while not locked… is this a problem?

Hi Barry, we would suggest that you contact your local BMW dealer who would be best placed to help you with your charger issues as soon as possible.
Waarom mag er geen verlengsnoer gebruikt worden bij 230 volt ? En moet bij de laadinstelling van de x1 (2.5e)iets worden aangepast
because of high current for long time might be to much for the extension cable and cause a fire.
How do you set the charging current?
Is there any harm in charging 2019 530e overnight?
No it stops charging when full
🤔 I use an ordinary home socket for my BMW X1, with an extension cable
😂😂

I wanna buy a i5 but why can't you use a extension cable ?
I have an I8 and have been told not to use an extension cable, which means I can't charge from home. Can someone explain why not please?
Any powerbank for this?
What if u don’t have don’t have that type of plug at home 2 plug in the bmw charger I’m confused
That is an international outlet so you would have the US version. Mechanics are the same, though.

Or just have an outlet installed!
your could use extension cord. just use the right size wire example 10/3 12/3 14/3 etc ....

Bonjour, peut-on recharger en 14 ou 16a avec le câble secteur ?
À mon avis c'est pas possible
Audi has target charge limit allowing to charge the car to less than 100 % to preserve the battery. When will BMW implement it?

İ love you BMW!!!
fantastisch ……..
so there's a wrong way?
Does anyone know if the cable can be used in weather?

Your personal eletrician! =) Bring him with you all the F time.
Can you disconnect the cable if the car is not fully charged? How do you unlock the charging cable?
The video says that you can disconnect the cable by unlocking the car first
Why can’t You lengten your cable?
It's not the size of your cable, it's how you use it.
Have you found the answer yet? I want to know too seeing that I was planning to do exactly that when I receive mine...

Anis Tarek doesn’t matter.Its for all hybrid and electric cars from Bmw.
molto bene ma a quando qualcosa in lingua ITALIANA???????
this charger is only 10 amps. Its a jook. Cannot climatize without discharging the battery. Lol.
Please take care of Vlad. His BMW burned his dog alive and almost his entire family.

a “gas” cap on an electric car? BMW is still thinking old-fashioned.
It's a hybrid it's not all electric
