Should say, have a podpoint. Do people just take off restrictions altogether? Guess I'll ask BMW

 

Yes. If you have a dedicated charger like a Pod Point then just set the car's charge limit to maximum and the charger will give the car as much as it can supply, up to your car's limit.

 

iX3 has the ability to charge at 7kW from a single phase supply, or 11kW from a 3-phase supply.

The vast majority of UK homes have single phase supplies so 7kW (32A) is as fat a charge as you can get from most home chargers.

The only reason to limit the charge at the car end is if you are plugged into an iffy supply on a granny charger so the house circuits/sockets don't cook.

As Koda says, since you have a definitive car charger set the car to maximum.

 

Have you tried it on a destination 7kW EVSE just to see what charge rate you get. Try a free supermarket PodPoint you will need the app to 'confirm' the charge.

 

Thanks all! Makes sense. Haven't tried a supermarket charger yet but will give it a go

 

All BMW EVs are shipped with a low fast charge rate. You can select 32amp charging via the iDrive.
