BMW CHARGING: EASY. ANYWHERE. ANYTIME.

Connected Home Charging connects the BMW Wallbox Plus (Gen.4) in your home power grid with your BMW electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle and the My BMW app^[1]. The intelligent control of charging processes will initially enable two variants: Solar-optimised charging allows you to use as much electricity as possible from your home's photovoltaic system. Load-optimised charging optimally balances the available amount of electricity for maximum charging power of the BMW Wallbox Plus (Gen.4). Intelligent control of the charging processes provides you not only with more convenience, but also with potential for cost savings, a higher degree of self-sufficiency for the household and optimisation of your carbon footprint. The ecosystem will be consistently expanded in the coming years and supplemented with additional customer-value features. The "Connected Home Charging Package" will initially be available in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Austria and Sweden from autumn 2023.

^[1] The My BMW App is compatible with all BMW vehicles from model year 2014 and later. This requires the ConnectedDrive Services option and a suitable smartphone. The availability and functions of the My BMW App vary according to the market.

The Connected Home Charging Package includes the BMW Wallbox Plus (Gen.4), including professional installation and set-up at your home. In the My BMW app^[1], you can control charging processes of your BMW electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle at the BMW Wallbox Plus (Gen.4) in a load- and solar-optimised manner. The ecosystem will be consistently expanded in the coming years and supplemented with further customer-value features. Please note: The "Connected Home Charging" package will initially be available in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Austria and Sweden from autumn 2023. To use the full range of functions, you need an active BMW ConnectedDrive contract and your vehicle must be added to your BMW ID in the My BMW app.

The "Connected Home Charging Package" will be available from autumn 2023 at BMW partners or in the BMW Accessories Store online, initially in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Austria and Sweden.

Depending on the model, the standard charging cable (Mode 2) or the Flexible Fast Charger is included when you buy an electrified BMW – so you can charge your vehicle with any standard household socket. The Flexible Fast Charger can also be used – with a suitable adapter cable available separately – at industrial sockets (high voltage) with a maximum power of up to 11 kW.

For added convenience, speed, and safety, you can select a wallbox to significantly reduce charging times when compared to standard household sockets.

Two models are available:

BMW WALLBOX.

The BMW Wallbox features a maximum power of up to 22 kW, a minimalist and weatherproof design, integrated cable storage, and Bluetooth^Ò connectivity. And user identification is possible with the My BMW App^[1].

SMART PARTNER WALLBOX "XXX (model)" by "YYY (partner name).

The Smart Wallbox from our partner XXX (market-specific) offers extended connectivity in addition to a maximum power output of 22 kW and convenient handling. It offers additional functions and intelligent home charging controls. For example, you can integrate your Home Energy Management System (HEMS), a remote control, and ensure the precise metering and billing of individual charges at home.

Before selecting a home charging solution, you should check the connection conditions of the power company providing electricity to your home.

It is prohibited to use an extension cable and multi-plug connectors. A charging rate of 1.3 kW at 6 A is set as the default. You can either switch this current limitation off entirely in the vehicle settings menu or set the AC charging current to the precise amperage according to your electrical installation.

You can quite simply book our installation service along with your Wallbox. This guarantees that your Wallbox is installed and set up safely and professionally. Incidentally, the service can also be booked for our efficient industrial socket if you wish to use your Flexible Fast Charger with the appropriate adapter at home.

The BMW Wallbox ensures fast, safe, and convenient charging at home. The wallbox can be connected to the My BMW App^[1] via Bluetooth^Ò and managed by the user. For many BMW drivers, the BMW Wallbox is the right solution.

However, there are some drivers who have additional requirements for a home charging solution that offers additional functions, such as remote access to the wallbox or intelligent management of charging processes.

For this purpose, BMW Charging offers you the Smart Partner Wallbox "XXX (model)" from our Premium Partner "YYY (name partner)". This solution is even more deeply networked via SIM card or WiFi, and it can also communicate with external systems. For example, the Smart Partner Wallbox can be integrated into an existing Home Energy Management System (HEMS) so that, for example, self-generated solar power can also be utilised to the fullest. Digital services, e.g. for the exact recording, documentation, and billing of charging processes, are also possible with the Smart Partner Wallbox.

Plug & Charge is a comfortable function for public charging that no longer requires separate authentication at the charging station via card or app. Once Plug & Charge has been set up in just a few steps, all you have to do is drive to a Plug & Charge-enabled charging station and plug in the charging cable. That's it. Your charging process starts automatically and you are billed via the stored BMW Charging or another charging contract. By the way, you can store several contracts in the vehicle.

Almost everywhere! With BMW Charging, we offer a constantly growing and multi-regional network of public charging points, including high-power charging stations from various providers. For detailed information on the availability of your area’s public charging infrastructure or other relevant locations, visit www.bmw-charging.com or simply display public charging points through BMW Maps in your vehicle's navigation system or the My BMW App^[1].

It’s best to maintain a charge of between 10 and 80 per cent. Lower or higher levels are possible, but to optimise the life of your battery, it is recommended to stay between 10 and 80 per cent. In your vehicle’s menu, you can easily and conveniently set your target charge to 80 per cent, so you’ll never have to worry about it.

A target charge of 80 per cent should cover all your daily driving needs. If you actually need more, simply set a higher target.

As its name suggests, a plug-in hybrid can be charged from a socket, a wallbox or at a public charging station. When you are on the road, you need the charging cable for public charging (mode 3), which is included in the scope of delivery in Europe. The maximum efficiency of a plug-in hybrid is achieved with a fully charged battery; which means that a charging facility should be available at home and at the workplace. Charge your BMW plug-in hybrid as often as possible so that you can always make full use of the additional electric drive.

Basically, the time needed to charge will vary. Basically, the time needed to charge will vary. For electric vehicles, charging takes longer with alternating current (AC) – depending on the cable and charging point – and direct current (DC)^[1] is significantly faster. Ultra-fast charging via direct current (DC)^[1] is possible at High Power Charging (HPC)^[1] charging stations, which are offered by our partner IONITY in Europe. The battery of a BMW iX, for example, can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in less than 40 minutes with a maximum power of 200 kW.^[3]

Please note: when charging DC and HPC, you should hold the charging plug on the vehicle until the plug is locked. This ensures that the charging process starts without a problem.

^[1] Currently only relevant for BMW electric vehicles.

^[2] The charging performance depends on the state of charge, ambient temperature, individual driving profile and use of auxiliary consumers. The ranges shown are based on the WLTP best case. The charging times apply to ambient temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius after a preceding drive and may differ depending on the usage behaviour.

Yes, no problem. Yes, no problem. For particularly fast charging, you can use the High-Power Charging (HPC) stations of our partner IONITY along the main European motorways. The My BMW App^[1] or the navigation system in the vehicle will show you right where they are. All you need to do is set a search filter. With a BMW iX, for example, you can charge up to 150 kilometres of additional reach with a short coffee break of around ten minutes. If you take a longer break at an HPC charging station, you can charge the BMW iX from 10 to 80 per cent in about 35 minutes – whether you can take advantage of the vehicle’s maximum power handling of up to 200 kW depends on the local infrastructure.^[3] Access to the IONITY network is available through BMW Charging at particularly attractive conditions.

To get the most out of your vehicle right from the start, it is advisable to precondition the vehicle interior. Heating and cooling require energy. For that reason, it makes sense to bring your vehicle to the desired temperature while it’s still plugged in, so you can start your trip with the maximum range. It’s easy to set the departure time and “pre-condition” to the desired climate using the My BMW App^[1] or the vehicle menu. That way, you’ll have a full charge and the perfect temperature right when you’re ready to leave – automatically.
