How much energy can I draw from the high-voltage battery of my BMW electric vehicle through bidirectional charging?

The customer can determine in the vehicle or the My BMW App how much energy should be stored for trips and the maximum amount of energy that can be discharged to ensure mobility requirements are met. The state of charge of the high-voltage battery can be set to a minimum of 10% or even higher. Up to the selected value, the available energy for the V2H and V2G use cases can be used for discharging. The charging and discharging processes are optimized automatically via the intelligent charging control system with the BMW Wallbox Professional.
