Below is the charging curve for BMW iX3 50 xDrive, illustrating the charging speed at various battery levels. Additionally, graphs for range and time provide comprehensive details on charging performance.

Charging Highlights

Peak DC Speed
400 kW
Battery Capacity
113.4 kWh
Architecture
699 V

113.4 kWh — 112.2 kWh

High Current Charging

The maximum charging speed of 400 kW requires more current than most chargers can deliver. Although many chargers are rated for power levels above BMW iX3 50 xDrive kW, they are often limited to 500 amps—insufficient to reach the full charging power, which requires 550 amps.

Charging Performance

Average charging speed 0 - 100% 146.9 kW
Average charging speed 10-100% 145.4 kW
Average charging speed 10-80% 241.0 kW

Advanced Metrics

Max C-Rate 3.54 C
Average C-Rate 2.08 C
Optimum charging area 5% – 61%

Charging Curve Data (0–100% SOC)

SOC Charger output Total time from 0% Energy into battery

Charger output is the power the charging station delivers. Energy into battery is what actually arrives: around 5% is lost to heat and conversion along the way, and charging times are calculated from that reduced figure. Dividing energy by time therefore gives a value roughly 5% below the charger output column. The 5% is an estimate — real loss varies with temperature, state of charge and the charger used.
