The offer is available for the 2027 BMW i5, i7, and iX3. It’s comprised of a $300 credit for use across BMW’s ChargingNetwork and a further $200 specifically for charging on the IONNA network. BMW’s wider charging network is accessible through the My BMW app and provides access to over 180,000 public charging points across the US thanks to partnerships with a range of charge point operators – including Shell Recharge, ChargePoint, EVgo and IONNA.
Customers will also receive a complimentary one-year BMW Membership at IONNA, which provides a 25 per cent discount on charging during the membership period. The credits and membership benefits are valid for up to one year from the vehicle’s retail sale date.
Those who purchased or leased an eligible 2027 model before the programme’s launch on 5 November can also qualify. IONNA is a joint venture between BMW and seven other US automakers which has over 200 locations across the country, each featuring DC charging up to 400 kW.
To obtain the offer, customers must complete an account setup process and enrol in the charging package via the My BMW app after purchase. Eligible credits are then automatically applied to qualifying charging sessions. Once the balance has been used, subsequent charging costs are billed to the customer’s registered payment method.
The charging package offer forms part of BMW’s wider efforts to improve access to public charging as it expands its EV offering in North America. Alexander Schleicher, head of e-mobility for BMW of North America, commented: “Public charging is an important part of the ownership experience for our electric vehicle customers, and our goal is to make it as simple, convenient and seamless as possible. The BMW ChargingNetwork gives our customers the ability to charge at more locations across the U.S., while the integration within the My BMW app makes it easier to find, access and pay for public charging.”
