December 25, 2023
In the evolving landscape of electric vehicles, one fundamental choice stands out for BMW drivers in Dubai: AC or DC charging. The decision between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) charging plays a pivotal role in determining how swiftly your BMW electric car refuels. Let's delve into the intricacies of both options to empower you with the knowledge needed for an efficient charging experience.
 
Understanding the Basics: AC vs. DC Charging
In essence, you can charge your BMW electric car using either AC or DC power. Most charging stations, including common household sockets, utilize AC.

Public Charging with Mode 3: On-the-Go Convenience
On your journeys throughout Dubai, public charging becomes essential. The Mode 3 charging cable facilitates convenient charging at public stations, supporting 3-phase charging with up to 11 kW capacity. The five-meter basalt grey cable comes with a practical storage bag, ensuring you are well-equipped for efficient charging on the go.
