BMW has partnered with Schneider Electric to provide and install i Wallbox charging kits for customers purchasing the new i3 and i8 for £315.

The price includes a 75% grant for the provision of domestic charging points from the Government.

Schneider Electric will be working with the 47 BMW i dealers in the UK to provide home surveys, supply and installation of charging points for electric vehicles.

The installation package will be provided by Schneider Electric but managed by BMW.

The BMW i Wallbox will enable owners in the UK to charge their BMW i3 at up to 7.4kW from zero to 80% within three hours, and on to a full charge within four hours.
