BMW TECHNOLOGY OFFICE USA: SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

With regards to Sustainable Mobility, we aim to demonstrate that:

• The e-mobility success story is just to begin

• Electric vehicles are a great way to stabilize the grid: E-mobility helps to enable renewable energy!

• Electric cars supporting the grid is a win-win, and the customers will benefit

Page 5Sustainable Mobility, March 2015

Our strategy:

1. Monetize the value of flexible grid loads

2. Bundle a significant portion of the revenue stream to an upfront payment

45 GWSome facts about electricity grids:

• CA’s power peak occurs around 6pm, i.e. when people arrive at home andplug in their PEV

• Peak power plants are not cost effective

• Utilities are highly interested in flexible electricity loads

• More renewables call for more flexibility

BMW i CHARGEFORWARD PROGRAM.EV AND B2L PILOT PROJECT IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA.

• 18-month pilot program from July 2015 - December 2016.• Pilot will take place in San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties in the San Francisco Bay Area.

BMW partners with utility PG&E to demonstrate application of plug-in electric vehicles for grid optimization.

Application phase has begun

• Up to 100 participating BMW i3 owners allow BMW to manage vehicle charging to reduce grid load.

• Customer receives upfront incentive as well as post-program incentive based on participation• Apply online: BMWiChargeForward.com

Application phase has begun

• Customers use custom smartphone app to inform BMW of charging needs.• BMW i ChargeForward combines:• Smart charging of electric vehicles• Stationary energy storage system using “second life” vehicle batteries

Owner mobility preferences are prioritized over intelligent management.

BMW Server

PG&E


1. PG&E contacts BMW server and requests load drop (up to 100 kW).

2. BMW selects vehicles for charging delay based upon owner preferences and notifies customers, who can opt out as desired. Stationary battery provides additional power as needed.

3. Smart meters verify that total desired load drop is achieved.

QUESTIONS ABOUT BMW i CHARGEFORWARD.

•What is Demand Response?

•How does BMW i ChargeForward help the grid?

•How can I maximize my incentive?

•Are there any impacts to my battery?

•What is V2G? Is BMW i ChargeForward V2G?

WHAT IS DEMAND RESPONSE?

Demand Response programs are a way for an electric utility to incentivize customers to change their normal consumption patterns to benefit the power grid.

Demand Response allows the utility to more efficiently use its power-generation resources to meet growing energy demand.


growing energy demand.

With BMW i ChargeForward, BMW i collaborates with PG&E to leverage the existing structure of the Demand Response program to address the utility’s need for load reduction on the grid through intelligent management of the home charging of a fleet of BMW i3 vehicles.

HOW DOES BMW i CHARGEFORWARDHELP THE GRID?

BMW i ChargeForward demonstrates how controlling the electricity demand of electric vehicles can be used to optimize a more consistent grid load.

This enables the utility to more

BMW i ChargeForward also employs a stationary battery storage system comprised of used vehicle batteries in conjunction with the BMW i3 vehicle charging management, to help realize grid optimization —thus reinforcing the BMW i commitment to maximizing sustainability throughout the vehicle life cycle and beyond.

HOW CAN I MAXIMIZE MY INCENTIVE?

• To maximize the value of the second incentive, participants are encouraged to fully participate as frequently as possible during the 18-month program (no "opt out").

• In addition, participation in occasional research questionnaires or surveys as part of the BMW i ChargeForward Program, conducted on behalf of BMW i or PG&E, will also contribute to


BMW i ChargeForward Program, conducted on behalf of BMW i or PG&E, will also contribute to an increased value for the final incentive

ARE THERE ANY IMPACTS TO MY BATTERY?

• Because BMW i ChargeForward works with the BMW i3 and requires no software or hardware modifications to the vehicle, there are no impacts to the battery or any other component.

• Customers are simply allowing BMW i to determine when to schedule charging, according to the needs of the electricity grid, together with the customer’s own stated charging preferences.


WHAT IS V2G? IS BMW i CHARGEFORWARDV2G?

BMW i ChargeForward combines two technologies, which are key to the success of electro-mobility:

1. Smart vehicle-grid integration to manage the timing of EV charging for greater grid efficiency.

2. Electric vehicle battery second life for stationary energy storage.


2. Electric vehicle battery second life for stationary energy storage.

Through controlling the charging of customer BMW i3 cars, we aim to show the benefits to the electricity grid we can achieve with our cars on the road today, without bi-directional charging.
