The introduction of 360º ELECTRIC sees BMW partnering experts in the field of electric mobility to provide customers with solutions available to optimize their overall electric mobility experience. 360º ELECTRIC is by far the only one of its kind in the industry today.

Home Charging

Every BMW i vehicle will come with the BMW i Wallbox Pure and a basic installation package. This 230V wallbox has a charging power of 3.7 kW and a current strength of 16 amperes, which enables the BMW i3 to be fully charged in about 6 to 8 hours. The BMW i8, meanwhile, can be fully-charged in less than two hours. A 4.0-metre charging cable is provided to enable charging flexibility. Once the BMW i3 or BMW i8 is plugged in, charging begins and will end automatically when the car is fully-charged.

Public Charging

ChargeNow, BMW i’s public charging programme, enables BMW i drivers with access to a network of public charging stations located in various office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, industrial parks and buildings in Singapore. Greenlots will administer ChargeNow in Singapore and enable local BMW i customers to access its vast and expansive network of AC charging units by using the BMW i ChargeNow card and Greenlots mobile app.

Flexible Mobility

BMW i has developed customized mobility solutions to cater for the occasional long-distance trips outside of the city. Be it a long weekend getaway to Malaysia or a road trip, customers will be covered under the Flexible Mobility Programme. BMW i customers will be able to enjoy the use of a BMW 320i Sedan for up to five days during the first year of having purchased a BMW i vehicle.

Assistance Services

BMW i has various solutions to ensure confidence in driving a full-electric vehicle, including BMW ConnectedDrive and the BMW i Remote App, which have been designed to optimize electric travel on a daily basis. Whereupon technical assistance is required when on the road, BMW Roadside Assistance provides the peace of mind that a response specialist will always be available on call, at the push of a button via the iDrive system, to provide round-the-clock service, 24/7, 365 days a year.
