Control and monitoring of the charging process
are handled fully automatically. When charging
with AC, the charge current level can be ad-
justed via iDrive.
Safety information
Warning
Working with electrical current improperly can
lead to electric shock due to high voltages or
high currents. There is a risk of fire or danger
to life. Observe the general safety regulations
when working with electrical current.
Warning
A faulty or incorrectly designed charging de-
vice at the charging location can cause dam-
