Enode and BMW Group partner to unlock smarter, more connected charging for drivers worldwide
For millions of drivers, electric mobility has become part of everyday life. Charging at home, managing costs, and choosing when to charge are all part of the experience. The next step is making that experience smarter — automatically optimizing when and how vehicles charge to save money, reduce emissions, and support the energy system.
To make that possible, automakers and energy companies need to work together.Enode and BMW Group have entered a partnership to enable a fully supported integration for BMW and MINI vehicles. The collaboration enables a high-quality, reliable connection that gives drivers access to the energy apps and services they rely on to manage charging and make the most of renewable energy.
“Our collaboration with BMW Group gives drivers more choice and better performance,” says Henrik Loennechen, Head of Partnerships at Enode. “Together, we’re building the foundation for smart charging, flexibility, and future services that help consumers save money and reduce their carbon footprint.”
Connecting drivers to smarter energy services
Together, Enode and BMW Group are making it easier for BMW and MINI owners to connect their vehicles to Enode’s rich ecosystem. These include solutions for smart charging, renewable optimization, and home energy management, helping drivers automatically charge when energy is cleaner, cheaper, and more abundant. For the grid, it means a smoother balance between consumption and renewable generation.
It’s a small change at the household level that adds up to a big impact across the energy system.
Building the foundation for flexibility
As OEMs like BMW develop reliable, well-supported APIs, it strengthens the technical foundation that enables deeper collaboration across the energy ecosystem. These APIs allow teams like Enode’s to build integrations that are secure, scalable, and ready for the next generation of energy services such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G).
By working directly with OEMs, Enode helps turn these capabilities into value — improving data quality, expanding functionality, and ensuring that vehicles, chargers, and home energy assets can communicate seamlessly.
For Enode’s partners in energy retail, flexibility, and grid operations, this means access to stable, high-quality data that enables smarter, more consistent demand response. For drivers, it means being part of a cleaner, more efficient energy system, without needing to change their routines.
A step toward an open, connected energy ecosystem
The collaboration with BMW Group marks another milestone in Enode’s mission to connect every energy-relevant device through a single, interoperable platform. As more manufacturers adopt official APIs, partnerships like this ensure that data access happens on secure, sustainable, and scalable terms.
It’s how openness turns into reliability, and how reliability turns into value. Both for consumers and for the grid.
Together, Enode and BMW Group are helping build the foundation for an energy system where vehicles aren’t just connected, but actively contribute to a smarter and more sustainable future.
