BMW announces that the Neue Klasse models, scheduled for launch in 2025, will have bi-directional charging, which will allow them to accept and supply electricity. In this way, the new electric vehicles from the propeller company will be able to return the accumulated energy to their home network, or to the electricity grid, at a later time, making the "Vehicle to Home", "Vehicle to Grid" functions available to the brand's customers. ” and “Vehicle to Load.”
"Starting this summer, we will offer cost-optimized charging together with our partner E.ON in several markets - said Frank Weber, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for development - and with the Neue Klasse we will take the next step: bidirectional charging. Using the vehicle, the My BMW app, the BMW backend together with a BMW DC Wallbox Professional and their own photovoltaic system, customers will be able to control the flow of energy so that they can charge at home even when they are not connected to the grid. And, of course, they will also be able to reduce charging costs by returning the energy accumulated in their BMW to the electricity grid."
