Can't find my 530e OUC (Occasional Use Charger)

technicks · 02-16-2019, 01:29 AM

Hi everyone,

Last week i got a 2019 530e (xDrive) and i've been charging it from my level 2 charger that i have for my i3. Tonight, i was visiting someone and i wanted to plug in while i was there. For some reason i can't seem to find the charger anywhere in the car! I thought it comes with the standard 120V plug-in charger, or what BMW calls OUC or Occasional Use Charger. My 2014 i3 came with it, so i assumed this one would as well.

Does it not come with one or is it stored somewhere i don't know? Is there a special storage place or am i losing my mind?

Thanks!

It should be in the trunk in a black case on the left side.

Nope, not there, just my spare mats, a first aid kit, front license plate kit and that's about it. Is it possible they used it at the dealership and forgot to put it back in the car?

As noted, it is supposed to be on the driver's side of the trunk. Mine was. Your guess might be accurate.

I had the same thing happen when I picked up my 530e. Dealer gave me a charger without issues when I reported.

Went to dealership today and they had to order one. Somehow it got lost. They said it will be available by Tuesday.
