Choosing the right plug for your home

Make sure the plug type you choose matches the outlet type you have at home. While many outlets look similar, they are definitely not the same. The one called NEMA 5-15 is the regular 120V household outlet that all home appliances use, while other outlet types, such as the 14-50 or 6-50 (The two most popular EV Charging Outlets), get installed specifically for appliances or EV Chargers that require 240V. That said, there are more 240V outlet types that are commonly used, such as the NEMA 14-30, 6-30, 6-20, L14-30, and more.

Charging rate can vary based on factors such as ambient temperature and the state of the battery. To prevent battery deterioration, charge the battery from 20% to 80%. This will allow owners to benefit from the quickest charging rates and avoid any potential reduced performance.

Why upgrade your BMW x5 Chargers

Most electric vehicle (EV) owners look to obtain the fastest available charge times and to ensure the vehicle’s maximum alternating current is met, we recommend upgrading from the manufacturer’s Level 1 charger to a Level 2 (240-Volt) EV charger. By fully utilizing the available electric miles from your EV, owners will save from more expensive gas miles and trips to the gas station while, at the same time, enjoying the acceleration and the wider benefits of electric driving. It is also important to use a charger rated at 10 Amp to protect against fire risk.

Connector type and charging rates

Owners of a BMW X5 Plug-In Hybrid, like most plug-in hybrids, can charge with a Type 1 SAE j1772 charger connector either at home, work, or at a public charging point. The BMW X5 PHEV upper limit alternating current (AC) charge rate is 3.8kW/hour, which is the maximum charge rate the vehicle will accept.

Outside temperature can influence the charging rate and efficiency, as colder temperatures may slow down the charging process.
