Charge time

On a powerful fast charger the BMW iX1 charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 26 minutes, adding roughly 273 km. The last 20 percent charges deliberately slowly, so on a trip it pays to stop at 80.

Range

With a usable battery of 64.7 kWh and motorway-ish consumption around 166 Wh/km, the BMW iX1 realistically covers about 390 km on a charge. At 130 km/h, in the cold or with a roof box the figure drops, so plan for about 80 percent of it on the motorway.

Plugs and charging

The BMW iX1 uses CCS (Combo 2) for fast charging and Type 2 for ordinary AC, like virtually every new EV in Europe. So it fits the vast majority of public chargers without adapters.
