DC charging time

Indicative DC charging time 10→80%, derived from battery capacity and charging power — not measured by us. Actual time depends on the charging curve, temperature and starting SoC.
Charging situation10→80% (min)
At model peak (130 kW) ~ 34
At a 150 kW charger ~ 34
At a 50 kW charger ~ 88
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

About the BMW iX1 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The iX1 shares the UKL platform and the body with the petrol X1; it is not a separate EV platform. The xDrive30 has two electric motors for four-wheel drive, together about 313 hp. Body and control logic are close to the combustion variant.

In practice

WLTP figure is about 440 km with the 65 kWh net battery (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks around 130 kW; 10-80% takes about 30 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Owners report a noticeably lower range in winter (public forums, not measured by us). The indicative list price rose from about 51,500 euro (reference date early 2024) to 53,900 euro now; this is a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.

Points to note

The braked towing weight of about 1,200 kg is limited for an SUV; check it for caravan use against your actual weight. The battery in an ICE architecture costs some floor space compared to a ground-up EV. Winter range is below the WLTP figure according to owners; plan charging stops on longer trips.
