All New 2027 BMW iX5 60 xDrive - 460 kW High Power Charging Demonstration

BMW, IONNA and Alpitronic Demonstrate 460 kW Ultra-Fast Charging for New iX5. BMW Group has partnered with IONNA and Alpitronic to showcase ultra-fast charging capabilities of up to 460 kW for the upcoming BMW iX5 60 xDrive, marking a significant advancement in electric vehicle charging technology. Demonstrated during an international media event in Southern California, the new all-electric BMW iX5 features the brand’s sixth-generation eDrive technology and an advanced 800-volt architecture. With a 141 kWh usable battery capacity, the SUV can recover up to 217 miles (WLTP) of range in just 10 minutes, while charging from 10% to 80% takes approximately 22 minutes. The demonstration combines BMW’s latest battery technology with Alpitronic’s high-power charging hardware and IONNA’s charging network expertise. The collaboration highlights the importance of developing charging infrastructure alongside increasingly capable electric vehicles. Although the 460 kW charging setup is currently a technology demonstration rather than a commercially available solution in the United States, it offers a glimpse into the future of ultra-fast public EV charging. #bmw #ix5 #suv #ev #recanything #recn
