I recently bought a 2017 REX from a BMW Dealer. The “convenience” charger did not work, so I bought a MEGEAR Skysword II from Amazon, for which the dealer reimbursed me. The MEGEAR claims to do both Level 1 and Level 2 charging. I have only done Level 1 as I have a 110v outlet in the garage. I am hoping to get some advice about charging.
1. Is charging Level 1 only OK? If so, it it best to select the Maximum, Reduced, or Low charging rate? It does take a long time. So, I lock the car so my blue charge port light does not burn out.
2. Absent time constraints, is Level 2 charging better for the batteries? I can have a 220 volt outlet installed if necessary.
Thanks! I am loving the car!
