Best apps for i5

[RobertBruc33]

We're loving our i5! But I know there's a whole world of apps out there that can make the EV experience even better. What are your must-have apps? I'm already using the My BMW app, but I'm curious about others like Electrify America, EVgo, and ABRP. Any other recommendations?

Try PlugShare - it’s a game changer! This cool app lets you pick and choose what you need, like plug types, charging speeds, and even how many spots are open at each station. Hungry while you wait? You can even find nearby places to grab a bite. Just grab the app, set it up the way you like, and hit search to find the best charging spots around.

The i5 is great honestly..buh along with the My BMW app, I recommend checking out PlugShare for charging station locations, ChargePoint for easy access to their network, and A Better Route Planner (ABRP) for route planning based on charging needs..

You’ve got the essentials with My BMW and Electrify America. For trip planning, ABRP is definitely a winner, it even syncs with some cars for live battery updates. Another cool one is ChargePoint if you haven’t grabbed it yet; their network is solid and easy to use. Oh, and for a bit of fun, try Optiwatt to track your charging costs and optimize when you plug in, it’ll save you a few bucks on electricity!

I use PlugShare regularly, and it's a great app. The community is very helpful, sharing detailed info about charging locations, usage tips, and even updates on chargers under construction. This makes planning charging stops much easier and more reliable.
