Charging accessories for your BMW.
Bidirectional charging with your BMW.
Optimised home charging for your electric vehicle.
Remote charging control.
With remote charging control, an energy supplier controls the charging of your BMW electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle and automatically starts charging at times of low power prices. This works with a suitable electricity tariff from a compatible electricity provider⁵.
Solar-optimised charging.
If your photovoltaic system produces enough solar power, it is automatically used to charge your electric-powered BMW. This lets you charge with as much self-generated electricity as possible, saving money and improving your carbon footprint.
Load-optimised charging.
Always charge with the maximum possible power. If other appliances in your household, such as a tumble dryer or an oven, are consuming a lot of power, the BMW Wallbox Plus automatically adjusts its output. This prevents the house circuit from becoming overloaded. At the same time, you always charge for the optimum charging time.
Discover the right charging solution for your home.
Control your charging using the My BMW App.
The My BMW App⁴ is your central interface for charging your vehicle. It shows your current charging status and helps you select the right charging mode. It also displays your charging statistics and history. You can also control your Wallbox directly from the app, so that you have all the key features in a single application.

BMW iX3 50 xDrive: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in miles/kWh¹: 3.7–4.1; Electric range, WLTP in miles²: 456–500
BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in miles/kWh¹: 3.3–3.9; Electric range, WLTP in miles²: 312 - 356
The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real-life values depend on various factors, such as cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tyres, battery health.
¹ Battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Whilst we recommend the battery is charged to 80% to help optimise the health and life of your battery, the electric range figure shown is the WLTP figure after the battery had been fully charged to 100%. WLTP figures are shown for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles, fuel type and vehicle load
² Range depends on various factors, in particular: individual driving style, route characteristics, outside temperature, heating/air conditioning, pre-conditioning.
³ Available for order optionally in conjunction with the BMW Wallbox Professional starting from 01/26.
⁴ The My BMW app is compatible with all BMW vehicles from model year 2014 onwards. It needs ConnectedDrive Services equipment to be fitted, and use of a compatible smartphone. The availability and functions of the My BMW app vary according to the market.
