EV Charging Station Installation and Setup for the BMW iX3

As the BMW iX3 continues to redefine luxury electric SUVs, having a dedicated home EV charging station is essential for convenient and efficient charging. STS Electric specializes in EV charger installation, ensuring your BMW iX3 gets the fastest, safest, and most reliable charge at home or your business.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about installing an EV charger for the BMW iX3, including charger options, installation steps, and why STS Electric is the best choice for a professional setup.

Why Install a Home Charging Station for the BMW iX3?

The BMW iX3 is designed for efficient long-range electric driving, but relying solely on public chargers can be inconvenient. A home charging station ensures faster, cheaper, and hassle-free charging every day.

Benefits of Home Charging:

  • Fast Charging: A Level 2 charger (240V) charges the BMW iX3 in under 8 hours.
  • Cost Savings: Charging at home is cheaper than public charging stations.
  • Convenience: Plug in overnight and wake up to a fully charged vehicle.
  • Enhanced Battery Health: Controlled charging at home optimizes battery performance.

BMW iX3 EV Charger Options

The BMW iX3 supports various EV charging levels, each offering different benefits:

1. Level 1 Charging (120V)

  • Uses a standard household outlet.
  • Slow charging speed: 4-5 miles per hour.
  • Takes over 30 hours for a full charge.
  • Not recommended for daily use.

2. Level 2 Charging (240V)

  • Best home charging option for the BMW iX3.
  • Requires a 240V outlet (50-amp recommended).
  • Provides up to 30 miles of range per hour.
  • Fully charges the iX3 in 6-8 hours.

3. DC Fast Charging (Public Charging)

  • Uses high-powered public stations.
  • Charges up to 80% in 30 minutes.
  • Best for long-distance trips, but not for daily charging.

For home installations, Level 2 chargers provide the best balance of speed and affordability.

    STS helped when the circuit board blew on our rental. They were very communicative throughout the entire process, especially considering I couldn’t be there to check the work at the time. The final product was clean, well done and organized.

    Being first time EV owners, we had quite a bit to learn about the process of getting an EV charger installed in our home garage. Ana was very responsive and arranged for a same day in person consult. Our project manager, Sam, was both friendly and extremely knowledgeable, we appreciated that he took his time with us as we had many questions. After we decided to proceed, they scheduled us within the same week. Our electrician Francisco did great work and finished the project in one day. He even performed the drywall himself. Highly recommend this company!
    Julian Harkleroad
    Hired STS Electric to address an electrical issue with our detached garage. They were prompt and professional. They came out the next day and addressed the issue with great detail. Sam was very professional and kept me up to speed throughout the process. Highly recommend STS for your electrical emergencies or projects.
