宝马在拉斯维加斯举行的消费者电子展（CES）上发布了i Home充电及电能储存系统。为了能最大限度利用再生能源，升级版宝马i Wallbox Pro充电桩，采用太阳能板收集电能，当太阳落山后，车辆将自动按照电价最低的峰谷电价充电。宝马称，仅此一项，每年就可以为美国消费者节省800美元电费。该项目经理Julian Lienich表示，我们的目标是为消费者提供最低的充电成本，同时可以最大限度使用绿色能源。除了发布新的充电系统外，宝马还展示了电能储存系统，它属于概念产品，该系统重新利用宝马的i电池，将其改造为电能储存系统用于储存太阳能板收集的电能，为电动车充电，也可为家庭供电。

 

BMW to introduce i Home Charging Services & energy storage system concept at CES

BMW has announced plans to introduce their i Home Charging Services at the Consumers Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

 

Designed to maximize to use of renewable energy, the updated BMW i Wallbox Pro charger uses solar power whenever it is available. When the sun goes down - or solar panels aren't installed - the vehicle is automatically charged at the cheapest off-peak rates. BMW says this could save U.S. customers up to $800 (€671 / ￡525) a year.

 

According to project manager Julian Lienich, “Our aim is to make mobility as cheap as possible for users and to allow them to maximize their use of green power – but without having to organize everything themselves.”

 

Besides introducing the new charging system, BMW will showcase a "stationary energy storage system" that uses repurposed BMW i batteries. Described as a concept product, the storage system collects solar energy so it can later be used to charge an electric vehicle or power a house.
