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.

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)
