I01￿High-voltage￿Components
6.￿Charging￿the￿High-voltage￿Battery
The￿charging￿cable￿is￿used￿to￿join￿the￿following￿components:
• Specific￿national-market￿connection￿for￿household￿power￿socket￿with￿protective￿contact
• Plug￿connection￿between￿specific￿national-market￿connector￿and￿"In-Cable￿box"
• "In-Cable￿box"￿(EVSE)
• Plug￿connection￿between￿"In-Cable￿box"￿and￿connector￿for￿vehicle￿connection
• Connector￿for￿vehicle￿connection.
The￿charging￿cable￿is￿the￿electrical￿connection￿between￿the￿AC￿voltage￿network￿and￿the￿direct￿current
voltage￿high-voltage￿electrical￿system￿of￿the￿vehicle.￿The￿connection￿to￿the￿AC￿voltage￿network￿is
effected￿at￿a￿typical￿household￿power￿socket￿with￿protective￿contact,￿which￿does￿not￿include￿Electric
Vehicle￿Supply￿Equipment.￿In￿this￿case￿the￿switching￿and￿functions￿of￿the￿Electric￿Vehicle￿Supply
Equipment￿are￿integrated￿in￿the￿charging￿cable.￿This￿is￿called￿an￿"In-Cable￿box".￿This￿charging￿cable
for￿the￿I01￿is￿always￿designed￿for￿single-phase￿supply,￿in￿line￿with￿the￿charging￿socket￿at￿the￿vehicle
(phase L1￿and￿neutral￿conductor N)￿and￿always￿includes￿the￿protective￿earth PE,￿as￿well￿as￿the￿pilot
and￿proximity￿line.￿The￿connector￿is￿designed￿so￿that￿the￿connection￿is￿first￿made￿with￿the￿protective
contact.￿The￿ground￿is￿grounded￿via￿the￿protective￿earth.
The￿charging￿cable￿can￿be￿housed￿in￿the￿charging￿cable￿compartment￿under￿the￿engine￿compartment
lid.
Please￿consult￿the￿operating￿instructions￿of￿the￿respective￿manufacturer￿for￿the￿operation￿and￿use￿of￿a
charging￿cable￿with￿an￿integrated￿EVSE.
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.
