14 Aug 2014|3,172 views
The new 360-degree ELECTRIC programme is an all rounded portfolio of services comprising four key pillars that will come standard with every BMW i model.
1) Home Charging
2) Public Charging
3) Flexible Mobility
4) Assistance Services
The introduction of the 360-degree ELECTRIC programme - by far the only one of its kind in the industry today - sees BMW partnering experts in the field of electric mobility to provide customers with solutions available to optimise their overall electric mobility experience.
Home Charging
All BMW i vehicles will come with the BMW i Wallbox Pure and a basic installation package. The BMW i Wallbox Pure provides a fast way to charge a BMW i vehicle while Greenlots, a provider of open standards-based technology solutions for an electric vehicle network, will provide local BMW i customers with charging infrastructure services at their homes or offices.
This includes the electrical installation in customers' homes, supplying and assembling the BMW i Wallbox Pure, and other services - allowing future BMW i3 or BMW i8 owners to charge their vehicles safely and quickly.
Prior to the purchase of a new BMW i vehicle, a Greenlots electrician/surveyor will conduct a site visit to determine if the intended buyer's home or office environment is electric mobility-friendly.
Once the environment has been deemed suitable, full installation will commence upon the purchase of the BMW i vehicle - backed by a Greenlots warranty with ongoing technical support.
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. Real time information about the availability and location of these stations is provided to BMW i drivers via the car's BMW Navigation system Professional to assist them in locating the nearest available charging point.
Flexible Mobility
BMW i has developed customised mobility solutions to cater for the occasional long distance trips outside the city.
Be it a long weekend getaway or a road trip to Malaysia, customers will be able to rent a BMW 320i Sedan for up to five days during the first year of purchase.
Assistance Services
Whereupon technical assistance is required when on the road, BMW assures 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 every day of the year.
Apart from helping BMW i drivers locate the nearest available public charging stations, BMW ConnectedDrive also allows drivers to use their smartphones to check on their cars charging status and further control the charging process to enable a more efficient journey.
The navigation feature offers a Driving Range Assistant with its dynamic range map which takes into account relevant factors that could impact the drive, including the battery's current charge level, driving style, topographic conditions and even the immediate traffic situation.
ECO Route is an additional feature that helps the drivers to find the most efficient way to reach their destinations. If Range Assistance determines that their destinations are beyond their vehicles current range, it will locate a nearby charging station or suggest a more efficient route.
All new BMW i vehicles are offered with the BMW Service Inclusive Plus that provides free maintenance (except tyres) for up to three years or a maximum mileage of 60,000km, whichever comes earlier. The high voltage battery, meanwhile, comes with warranty up to a maximum of eight years or a maximum mileage of 100,000km, whichever comes first.
In the event of a breakdown or when a technical problem occurs, BMW i drivers can select the 'BMW Mobile Care' function in the iDrive system. Upon its activation, the car will transmit diagnostic information and its current location to the BMW Roadside Assistance call centre which would then administer necessary assistance according to the situation.
