Cheapest Fast Charging in France, first IECharge testing session

On our BMW iX1 testing trip through France obviously we had to finally try out the extremely promising up to 320 kW fast charging network called IECharge. Opening several stations all around the country almost every week (mostly in the middle of nowhere) it's important to understand they are a network based on helping out DSOs balancing the grid, the fast charging is an added bonus ;-)
LET'S GO!
Don't forget: #rentelectric
Easy ways to find all IECharge stations: iecharge.io/locations/
I can't seem to find the IECharge stations on the BMW Charging map, so no tariff info either :(

Thanks for this test 😊
IECharge is growing fast, They have 58 active stations (all are the same 2x160kW + 2x320kW), 19 are building in and 36 more are already planned. 👍🏻

Let us know how it goes!

I’m planning on using these on my trip to France, cannot believe how cheap they are and the speeds also 👌

[@francoisdrant1393]

Now , u have the auto charge ! 😉

[@bluebikerathar]

Only in France, Doors open from the high tension cells 😮.
I have seen exactly the same set up, quite sure .
In the North of France, 15 km fromb the Belgium border.
From Poperinge towards Cassel. Also in the midddle of nowhere.
Next time i will stop and take pictures and post it, tagging you 😊

Looking forward to your photos, might visit that station in August myself, bringing something special!! #800V

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Legend has it the keys are still there 😅

[@lucistnik]

The station is not on BMW Charging map so I would be really interested in the pricing that you got. Also, active or Flex tariff?

[@electricfelix]

I noticed the same, since it’s not my card unfortunately I cannot tell you :(

Welcome in France!😂

[@SteveLoughran]

iX1 battery voltage is low -means they don't get their full rate except on high current chargers like this. Not great in a country (UK) where 50kW is considered high power. We need things like this, especially in the bits of the country with low resident/through traffic but very high tourist numbers in summer.

Yup next video will show the low voltage!!

😱👌😍💪⚡️
