I recently purchased my very first fully electric vehicle and went with a BMW i4 M50. The dealership I purchased from is 3.5 hours away from our house. The drive home for the first time was scary to say the least. My BMW navigation automatically recommends charging stations along my route, which is great, except it is not accurate when it comes to telling you whether or not the charging station is functioning.
The myBMW app also charges $60 a charge whether I get a charge or not. Once you accept and it begins communicating with the car… $60 charge, not charging, tells you to disconnect and start again, boom another $60.
My wife goes onto EV forums and sees recommendations for EV Connect app. Way, way, way better. And, guess what, only $25 per.
The same charging station through myBMW is $60. And yes, I mean the EXACT same charging station.
I highly recommend EV connect to everyone considering an EV!
