Convenience charging

The charging stop as a personalized experience

With convenience charging from Bosch, drivers receive personalized recommendations for services during charging. This allows them to plan charging time according to their individual needs and use it optimally. The possibilities are nearly endless: For example, drivers can reserve charge points right next to restaurants, have purchases delivered directly to the charge points, cash in coupons and discount vouchers at the charging station or in adjacent shopping centers, or even have a mobile charging station brought to their location. Mobility providers, vehicle manufacturers, and their partners have the opportunity to tap into additional market potential by offering their customers additional services.

Personalized and dynamic route planning

The route and charging station suggestions are tailored to the driver’s individual preferences. These preferences, such as fast or affordable charging, charging stations near a restaurant, or free Wi-Fi, can be saved in the app. If an appointment is changed or a charge point is occupied, the driver receives an updated route and charging recommendation. The app is also self-learning: Over time, the suggestions for the driver are adapted based on the driver’s preferences and behavior in order to be more and more accurate.

Seamlessly from app to car

A new, personalized route can be planned conveniently with the smartphone app anywhere and at any time. The chosen route is then seamlessly transferred from the smartphone to the head unit in the vehicle. All the driver has to do is get into the vehicle and drive off.
