• _{^{NETWORK COMPATIBILITY:}}
  Electrify America: All charging stations are compatible with Plug & Charge
  Shell Recharge: Shell Recharge aggregates multiple charging networks under one account. Not all networks and stations within the Shell Recharge account currently support Plug & Charge. The following networks are compatible through Shell Recharge, and more are coming in 2025:
  • Shell Recharge (select stations)
  • IONNA
• _{^{HOW TO FIND COMPATIBLE STATIONS:}}
  Through the My BMW App, you can browse and filter for Plug & Charge compatible stations. Additionally, upon parking in front of a charging station, your BMW will always indicate the availability of Plug & Charge on the Goodbye screen.
• _{^{CONTRACT SELECTION:}}
  Your BMW can hold multiple Plug & Charge contracts from providers, but only one can be set as your default contract. You can check your default contract in the Plug & Charge menu, or on the iDrive Goodbye screen before exiting your vehicle. Be sure the correct contract is selected before plugging in, otherwise authentication will fail.
  For example, if at an Electrify America station, ensure the Electrify America contract is selected. If at an IONNA or compatible Shell Recharge station, be sure to switch to your SRS (Shell Recharge Solutions) contract.
