When it comes to driving an all-electric vehicle like the BMW i3, one thing we hear a lot from our customers here at BMW of Salem is the worry that they won’t find adequate charging stations when they’re out and about, and sometimes this fear can keep a would-be electric driver from becoming an actual EV driver. This next video features Lou, a real-life BMW i3 driver, who will show you the insider scoop on how to locate charging stations, how to connect to the charger, and how to monitor your car’s charge remotely, too. Check it out!
When you’re cruising around in your BMW i3, you can set it to alert you to the location of nearby charging stations, and even save them as favorite destinations so you can find them easily again. Monitoring your charging vehicle is easy, too. You can check whether it’s charging and what the charge level is with an app on your phone or smartwatch, so you’re never in the dark about how much power you have.
The automotive landscape is changing, and with EV charging infrastructure starting to go up en masse, finding and charging your EV is no longer a challenge, so the time to jump aboard the EV train is now. Come on in to see us in our showroom, located on 1151 Van Ness Ave. NE Salem, OR. Our friendly sales associates will happily show you any of our new or pre-owned BMW models, and if you’re looking for an EV, the BMW i3 will be ready to take you for a test drive.
