BMW and Eon cooperate on V2G: BMW and Eon Launch First Commercial Vehicle-to-Grid Offering in Germany
Munich (Germany) - BMW Group and Eon are launching the first commercial vehicle-to-grid (V2G) offering for private customers in Germany.
The offer is initially aimed at BMW vehicles of the Neue Klasse, starting with the BMW iX3 based on sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology. These models can not only draw energy from their high-voltage battery but also feed it back into the power grid. Charging and discharging are automated via an algorithm jointly developed by BMW and Eon.
As part of the contract agreed with Eon, customers receive a time-based bonus of up to €720 per year, provided the vehicle is connected to the wallbox with the V2G function activated. The bonus is credited regardless of whether actual charging or discharging takes place and is capped at €60 per month. BMW calculates the bonus payment based on a theoretical annual driving distance of up to 14,000 kilometers. In addition, every kilowatt-hour actually fed into the grid is remunerated at €0.40 per kWh. Control is handled via the My BMW app, where charging targets and bonus balances can also be viewed.
“The first commercial V2G offer in Germany marks a groundbreaking milestone, linking electromobility with the energy transition,” said Filip Thon, CEO of Eon Germany. Marcus Krieg, Vice President New Business Models at BMW Group, explained: “With the Neue Klasse, BMW vehicles become an active part of the energy ecosystem for the first time. Their technology enables intelligent storage and return of energy to the grid, reducing customer costs while strengthening the use of renewable energy.”
For the first 100 private customers with a BMW iX3 who opt for Eon’s V2G electricity tariff, an additional discount of €700 on the wallbox is available. In parallel, BMW and Eon are offering cost-optimized charging for all BMW and MINI electric vehicles, where charging processes are automatically shifted to lower-priced time windows, with additional bonuses possible.
