This collaboration will allow Schneider Electric to work closely with the BMW i sales agents and customers, providing home surveys, supply and installation of the charging point, as well as offering maintenance and comprehensive support. The installation package will be provided by Schneider Electric but managed by BMW and can be customised to meet customers‘ specific requirements.
The BMW i Wallbox will allow BMW i owners to charge their vehicles quickly and conveniently while at home or at work. The BMW i3 is purpose designed to work with a specially developed home charging unit from the outset.
The BMW i Wallbox will enable owners in the UK to charge their BMW i3 at up to 7.4kW from zero to 80 per cent within three hours, and on to a full charge within four hours.
