1731 BMW i continues with its introduction of customer-friendly electro-mobility services in the UK, forming a partnership with 729 Schneider Electric, which will see Schneider Electric become not only the manufacturer of the BMW i wall box, but also the recommended installer.
 
Schneider Electric will 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 wall box will allow BMW i3 owners to charge their vehicles quickly and conveniently while at home or at work, at up to 7.4kW from zero to 80 per cent within three hours and on to a full charge within four hours.  The BMW i3 is the first electric vehicle on the market to be purpose-designed to work with a specially developed home charging unit from the outset.
