BMW has launched the pilot program for BMW Wireless Charging with the 530e, capable of powering you up in just 3.5 hours.
Learn about and apply for the pilot program here:
https://www.qmerit.com/bmwwireless (currently available only to California residents).
HOW THE PILOT PROGRAM WORKS:
The Required Hardware:
Enrollment in the Pilot Program requires two (2) pieces of hardware.
A BMW 530e with Car Pad Module (CPM)
• A limited number of wireless inductive charging systems are available.
• CPM is installed as a factory option
The Ground Pad Module (GPM)
• Professionally installed/de-installed by Qmerit
• Must be hardwired to home electric panel
• *The GPM is exclusively compatible with the BMW 530e
*CPM and GPM sync through Wi-Fi
The Application Process:
Through a short survey, we’ll determine whether your home is eligible for Wireless Charging or if another charging option is best for you. From there, your local BMW Client Advisor will get you behind the wheel of your new BMW 530e with CPM.
The Cost:
All costs, expenses and expenditures associated with the initial installation, maintenance and de-installation of the Ground Pad Module will be funded by BMW. Once deemed eligible for the Pilot Program, simply contact your local BMW Center for leasing options on a BMW 530e with CPM.
ELIGIBILITY
Participation in the Pilot Program is only offered to eligible customers while supplies last.
