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.

Overall excellent service, from beginning to end, we called STS Electric and got the information we needed in terms of the scope of the job, pricing and time it will take to complete it. It was within our budget and time frame so we decided to hire them for the job. They were super efficient, no headache, came in, scoped everything and start the work, they were done in a few hours and everything worked out perfect. Thanks.

If you live in the Chicago area, I strongly suggest you look no further for your electric needs but to go with the best company I have ever worked with. From the office staff, supervisors and technicians are rated 10 out of 5 if that was possible. An amazing service rendered and as a very satisfied customer they will stay with me for all future projects.The detailed and precision of this service was unbelievable. Knowledgeable, courteous and detailed customer care was a plus for me. I had no worries when worked began because I felt I was in safe hands. The results were flawless. I am a very satisfied customer and recommend to all.

STS Electric arrived on time and quickly resolved our electrical problems, and replaced 2 Ring camera/lights devices. I will continue to use him when I need help with electrical issues.

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!

Arthur Ye

Sam and the team were great and promptly completed the outlet installation and integration

My STS electrician experience was fantastic, I had them come in to do a few different projects and they were great. I love how the communication (for me, from Ana) is clear, kind, and concentrated on my needs; I love how the guys who came (for me, Francisco and Juan) were talented, kind, listened to my concerns, and just plain got the job done! I'm getting these guys back to do more work, but for now I'll say: You're in good hands.

STS Electric has been a life savior for me! Their electricians are attentive, friendly, and dedicated, always going above and beyond to address the customers needs. I called on a Monday, and was able to get 2 - 3 electricians on the job on Tuesday, the very next day and scheduled throughout the week.

They've done all my rewiring for me, and they do the job in a timely manner. When they work, they put plastic everywhere to make sure my belongings stay clean and not so dusty.

The supervising electrician, Sam, has been absolutely wonderful. He explains everything step by step to me in laymans terms that I can easily understand. Ana who schedules and deals with the finances is super nice and dedicated as well! And the electricians Francisco and José were also very communicative about what work they were going to do and ensured that all my outlets, switches, and new fixtures were located exactly where I wanted them to be with electrical code compliance in mind.

STS Electric is the type of business I know I can rely on in a pinch. Just a really great team with high quality workmanship. I highly recommend this company!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that our team was able to provide you with the service you needed and that you found our work to be timely and considerate of your home.

Super happy with the work done by STS Electric. I called first thing in the morning and they were able to be here by noon. I blew a circuit in the middle of the night and smelt burning.
