iDrive 8 location based charging?

X5Pye · 05-06-2023, 09:54 PM

Anyone know if the iDrive 8 location based charging will automatically set the current based on GPS location. I have an existing 120v 15A outlet in an outdoor parking space that I want to convert to a 240v 15A NEMA 6-15 outlet. I want to deliver 240v and 12 Amp to the charger, and don't want it to pull more than this. If the iDrive 8 won't set the amperage I will have to buy a charger that accepts level 2 but will limit the current to 12 amps.
