Parkopedia and AWT Bavaria Ukraine, in partnership with BMW AG, have completed the integration of 4,272 Ukrainian chargepoints into selected BMW models and the MyBMW app, improving the experience for BMW EV drivers in Ukraine.
This new partnership enables AWT Bavaria Ukraine (the official importer for the BMW in Ukraine) and Parkopedia to ensure the greatest convenience possible for their EV drivers. The addition of accurate and comprehensive chargepoint information plays a major role in facilitating the transition to EVs in this emerging market.
The integration allows EV drivers to easily find the nearest charging stations on their desired routes and select their favorite charging providers via the MyBMW app. Drivers can access information on the exact location and features of the charging station, and verify the availability of free chargers, saving them time and reducing anxiety.
EV sales continue to increase in developed markets, with some of the highest growth rates witnessed in emerging markets such as Ukraine, where historic uptake has been low.
Markus Dohl, VP of sales Europe at Parkopedia, said, “This latest partnership demonstrates our continued focus on enabling EV drivers to locate and navigate to their desired charging locations around the world. In-car EV charging data plays a pivotal role in emerging EV markets and is crucial in facilitating the uptake of EVs in Ukraine. We are honored to provide this service in the country, which wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration of our local CPO partners.”
Erik Berning, CEO of AWT Bavaria, added, “We always strive to provide our customers with the best driving experience possible, and this partnership with Parkopedia is an important step in this direction. By expanding access to charging stations and providing information about them, we are making electric car ownership even more convenient and affordable. Such important partnerships help to contribute to the development of environmentally friendly mobility in Ukraine and improve the experience of electric vehicle usage.”
