I'm trying to use my BMW's Plug and Charge feature to charge for free with EA. I have agreements with both EA and Shell, but my BMW isn't recognizing them. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
 
You might wanna skip the plug-and-charge thing. Starting the charging through the app is way more flexible and makes it a breeze to handle multiple vehicles. Just don’t forget to set up a payment method for that $20 pre-authorization fee!
 
I had a bit of a problem with the setup at first, but once I rolled the car out of the garage and made sure I had a clear view of the satellites, everything clicked into gear!
 
Man, I have to disagree with @soloskater1! I set up Plug & Charge with EA, rolled up to the charger, plugged it in, and smashed that Confirm button. Then I jetted off for coffee. Fast forward 20 minutes, and my car was already at 30%! Definitely a game changer for me!
 
I totally had a mini freakout when my certificate vanished from the car! Had to hit up EA to get them to resend it. What a hassle!
