It takes a luxury car manufacturer and an enterprise-grade tech platform to make a truly remarkable electric vehicle experience. BMW just partnered with QMerit to do just that.
Not only will BMW i and BMW iPerformance drivers be able to custom-install a 7.2 kW (32 A, 240 V) BMW home charging station for their i3, i8, X5 xDrive40e, 740e xDrive, 530e and 330e EVs via www.bmwcharging.com as part of BMW's premium 360° Electric Lifestyle program, but the system will support charge progress tracking using the BMW Connected app on a compatible smartphone.
The automaker will also make the installation process a snap using a sophisticated digital platform that identifies nearby qualified installers and lets drivers request no-cost, no-obligation quotes from one or more; compare, accept or reject them; make and track installer appointments for prior to, or timed with, delivery of your new BMW vehicle, and more. You'll even be able to compare installers based on their QMerit Contribution Index's proprietary service provider scores, to become available as the service develops, which are a measure of other BMW drivers' satisfaction ratings.
From there, BMW plans to expand its services even further. The future is now, it seems, for the luxury vehicle market alike. Stay tuned for further details on exciting advances in the area of electric vehicles and technologies, and in the meantime, stop by our BMW of Sioux Falls showroom from Vermillion, Brookings, Brandon or environs to check out our wide selection of 2016 and 2017 BMW models!
