The X5 50e is experiencing a charging issue.

[BuickUS4]

Today, I attempted to connect my X5 PHEV to a power source for charging purposes, but encountered an issue when the vehicle failed to initiate the charging process. The charging station displays the message "waiting EV." Both the BMW application and the vehicle itself indicate that the charging process is not taking place, and no error notice is being shown. The car's settings remain consistent, and it is expected to begin charging promptly. I have using this charging station on several occasions without encountering any difficulties, and I have attempted to utilise a few other charging stations with no success. It is necessary for me to take the vehicle to the authorised dealership in order to get it inspected.

Does anybody else have this problem?

Is it possible to charge a BMW vehicle at home or any other location using the charger supplied by BMW?

[BuickUS4]

No, not at any point in time. It is advisable to only use the charging stations located inside my workplace or other publicly accessible areas.

In order to conduct a more comprehensive assessment of the car or public charging station(s), it is necessary to explore other charging sources, such as the charging cable that is included with the vehicle. Connect the device to your residential electrical circuit using an appropriate amperage. The objective is not to achieve complete charging of the car, unless desired, but rather to ascertain if the vehicle undergoes charging or not using a device that is recognised to function correctly. Moreover, it is advisable to consider using an alternative level 2 charger that has a proven track record of functioning well.

You said that you attempted a few further options. Please provide clarification about whether these units were located at the same charging station or at distinct charging stations.

I use these chargers on a near-daily basis during weekdays, and it is seen that other vehicles using the same chargers are functioning well. Up till now, I have used many charging stations without encountering this issue. This is the first occasion subsequent to my acquisition of the automobile in July of 2024.

In order to proceed, it is necessary for you to return to your place of residence and connect the provided charging cord. This will aid in further isolating if the issue really pertains to your car.

Charging at home is not a viable option for me, since I rely on charging facilities available in different buildings across the town. I want to experiment with an alternative charger in the shopping centre later today. In the event that this endeavour proves unsuccessful, I will go to the dealership in order to solicit their assistance in diagnosing the issue.

The occurrence of a 'Waiting to EV' notification was seen while the vehicle had been configured to begin charging at a later time. Are you use the ChargeForward application?

[Sarah_Jane1980]

While I acknowledge that charging at home may not be a common practise, I am curious to know the specific factors that hinder you from doing a brief trial of this process. This method provides a rapid means of ascertaining the presence of a charging malfunction inside one's automobile. Submitting the outcomes of this expeditious examination to your automotive dealership might expedite the process; fundamentally, it is imperative to ensure comprehensive coverage. Demonstrating prior attempts at troubleshooting may effectively convey that one has previously undertaken preliminary measures to address the issue at hand. This not only helps to expedite the resolution process by avoiding redundant troubleshooting efforts, but also enables the progression towards more advanced troubleshooting techniques that may need specialised expertise outside one's capabilities.
Have you attempted to engage in this activity?
A: Affirmative, the attempted solution proved to be ineffective. Q: Was the aforementioned approach tested?
The attempted solution proved to be ineffective.

[BuickUS4]

Due to the absence of electrical outlets inside my condominium complex, the implementation of such a solution is not viable. Therefore, the whole of my charging activities is conducted at diverse charging stations located inside the buildings I often visit.

I make use of Chargepoint and Blink charging stations and use their respective applications.
