Earlier this month, BMW of North America announced two new
public charging programs for BMW model drivers. The new programs are a part of
the BMW brand’s ChargeNow program in cooperation with EVgo, which is the
largest public DC Fast charging network in the nation. The ChargeNow by EVgo
Annual Pass and Pay as You Go plans will expand the ChargeNow public charging
offers for current and new
BMWi models and BMW iPerformance drivers. Keep reading to find out more!
With the two additional ChargeNow by EVgo public charging plans, drivers of BMW i3 vehicles as well as drivers of BMW i8 and BMW iPerformance plug-in hybrid models that were previously ineligible for the ChargeNow DC Fast program can now enroll for convenient access to participating EVgo chargers using the same ChargeNow card.
The ChargeNow by EVgo Annual Pass allows enrolled drivers of the BMW i3 drivers to have unlimited access to 30 minutes of DC Fast and one hour Level 2 charging sessions for one full year for a single payment of just $99. Drivers of models without DC Fast charging capability as well as owners of the BMW i8 and BMW iPerformance models such as the new BMW X5 xDrive40e, BMW 330e and BMW 740e can now take advantage of unlimited access to two-hour Level 2 charging sessions at participating EVgo stations for one year for just $39. The introductory pricing is available to BMW drivers who enroll by December 31, 2016.
The second new program, ChargeNow by EVgo Pay As You Go, offers BMW i and BMW iPerformance drivers the ability to lock into discounted charging rates for up to a full year at participating stations with savings up to 30 percent each time they charge their vehicle. With this plan, drivers pay only for the use of the station, not any enrollment or monthly subscription fee. DC Fast charging session fees are just $2.95 per session plus 15 cents per minute. Level 2 charging is a $1.20/hour.
