New Functions, Extensive Updates: My BMW App as a Decision-Making Tool for Switching to Electric Power
The My BMW App and MINI App continue to evolve, with five major updates per year that enhance their usability and importance for customers, particularly in the realm of electric mobility and vehicle charging.
Electric Vehicle Analysis: A Key Tool for Transitioning to Electric Mobility
One of the standout features in the latest updates is the Electric Vehicle Analysis tool. This function allows current BMW combustion engine drivers to assess how an all-electric BMW could fit into their driving habits. By simulating trips based on real driving data, the app demonstrates the viability of switching to electric power by comparing journeys that could have been completed with an electric BMW on a single charge. This analysis aims to alleviate concerns about range anxiety, a common hesitation among potential electric vehicle (EV) buyers.
To utilize this feature, users must have driven at least 2,000 kilometers and completed 200 trips in their current BMW. The app’s analysis will eventually expand to include evaluations of vehicle idle time and long-distance travel, alongside charging infrastructure information.
Enhancements for Seamless Vehicle-App Interaction
Recent updates have also improved the user experience by enabling seamless interaction between the vehicle and the My BMW App. Users can now set preferences such as avoiding toll roads or ferries directly in the app, with these settings automatically syncing with the vehicle’s system. Additionally, charging-optimized route planning is now more advanced, allowing drivers to add individual charging stops, which are then synchronized with the vehicle.
New Charging Wallet for Electric Vehicles
The My BMW App has introduced a new Charging Wallet feature, which allows drivers to manage and select charging tariffs from various providers. This feature shows the applicable prices at different charging stations, enabling users to choose the most cost-effective option available.
Growing Popularity and High User Satisfaction
With over 13 million users worldwide and an average rating of 4.8 stars in the App Store, the My BMW App and MINI App have become indispensable tools for BMW and MINI drivers. The apps offer a wide range of functionalities, including vehicle status monitoring, remote control features, navigation, service management, and more.
As BMW continues to innovate, the My BMW App stands out as a powerful tool for drivers considering the switch from combustion engines to electric vehicles, offering clear insights and making the transition smoother and more informed.
