How the smart charging service works.
Using BMW i Home Charging Services, the vehicle is charged with home-generated solar power whenever this is available. At other times, or if the household does not have a solar generating system, the vehicle is automatically charged at the cheapest off-peak rates. This makes it possible to take advantage of flexible electricity pricing. Pricing varies depending on the time of day. In the USA, this can result in savings of up to 800 dollars a year. With this fully automated charging service, customers get a simple-to-operate system. The system integrates vehicle charging with the household electrical system. Additionally, it integrates with online-based data systems.
“With Home Charging Services, BMW is the first vehicle manufacturer to offer such a broad-based EV smart charging product,” says BMW Project Manager Julian Lienich. “Our aim is to make mobility as cheap as possible for users and to allow them to maximize their use of green power – but without having to organize everything themselves. This initiative is a significant step forward in the evolution of electric vehicles, providing customers with an unparalleled level of convenience and efficiency. By integrating advanced technology and streamlined services, BMW ensures that every driver can effortlessly charge their vehicle, reducing barriers to entry in the world of sustainable transportation. We believe that by simplifying the charging process, we can promote a wider adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to a cleaner environment for future generations.”
