Employees￿in￿BMW￿Service￿cannot￿perform￿any￿maintenance￿or￿repair￿work￿on￿the￿charging￿cable
or￿the￿EVSE.￿In￿the￿event￿of￿a￿defect￿with￿or￿a￿malfunction￿of￿the￿charging￿cable￿or￿the￿EVSE,￿the
manufacturer￿must￿be￿contacted.
Fixed￿charging￿station
This￿version￿of￿the￿Electric￿Vehicle￿Supply￿Equipment￿must￿be￿installed￿permanently￿owing￿to￿its￿size
and￿electrical￿requirements,￿e.g.￿at￿the￿house￿or￿in￿the￿customer's￿garage.￿Such￿a￿charging￿station￿can
also￿be￿built￿at￿public￿places,￿e.g.￿car￿parks.
The￿installation,￿maintenance￿and￿repair￿of￿fixed￿charging￿stations￿can￿only￿be￿performed￿by￿suitably
qualified￿electricians.￿Employees￿in￿BMW￿Service￿are￿not￿authorized￿to￿perform￿this￿work￿as￿they
generally￿do￿not￿have￿this￿training.
For￿the￿fixed￿charging￿stations￿(also￿called￿"wallbox")￿a￿distinction￿is￿made￿between￿AC￿charging
stations￿and￿DC￿charging￿stations.
AC￿charging￿stations
The￿connection￿of￿the￿AC￿charging￿stations￿to￿the￿AC￿voltage￿network￿can￿be￿via￿a￿two-phase￿(US
market)￿or￿three-phase￿(typical￿in￿Germany)￿supply￿–￿the￿connection￿to￿the￿I01￿is,￿however,￿always
designed￿as￿a￿single-phase￿supply.￿In￿comparison￿to￿the￿mobile￿solution,￿a￿maximum￿current￿level￿of
32 A￿or￿a￿maximum￿charging￿power￿of￿7.4 kW￿is￿possible.￿These￿maximum￿values￿are,￿however,￿still
dependent￿on￿the￿size￿of￿the￿line￿cross-section,￿which￿was￿used￿in￿the￿electrical￿installation￿at￿the
charging￿site.￿The￿electrician￿configures￿the￿charging￿station￿during￿installation￿according￿to￿the￿line
cross-section￿so￿that￿the￿applicable￿maximum￿current￿level￿is￿transmitted￿to￿the￿vehicle￿using￿the￿pilot
signal.
AC￿charging￿stations￿from￿other￿manufacturers￿or￿the￿versions￿for￿other￿countries￿may￿differ￿from￿the
versions￿shown￿up￿to￿now.
The￿following￿graphic￿shows￿an￿AC￿charging￿station￿for￿the￿US￿market.
