The UC Berkeley Transportation Sustainability Research Center conducts an evaluation of the BMW USA ChargeForward program.
As BMW of North America is expanding its national smart charging service, ChargeForward, so all BMW North America EV and PHEV customers in the contiguous 48 states are eligible to earn cash incentives for optimizing their charging, TSRC will provide research support to the program that could enable significant carbon emission reductions from electric vehicle charging.
TSRC will provide evaluation of the company’s smart charging programs and quantify the carbon emission reductions, in an effort to track the impact of ChargeForward.
In order to further optimize the charging experience and help alleviate strain on local electrical grids, BMW USA announced it is expanding its ChargeForward incentive program to EV and PHEV drivers throughout the contiguous United States. The national expansion comes on the wings of the launch of BMW’s first all-electric 5 series, the i5.
Since 2016, BMW has been working alongside local energy companies to help implement, bolster, and maintain charging infrastructure amongst a booming EV landscape. Part of that process has included a unique charging incentive program called ChargeForward, which began with 2017 BEV and PHEV models like the i3.
