[Pragmatic]

Slated for production in 2025 using BMW branded Wallboard chargers.

BMW’s future EVs will support bidirectional charging

The automaker’s next generation of vehicles will be able to store energy to send back to the grid.

It's still just promising to have it.
May or may not be ready by 2025 but I tend to believe BMW...

I do too.

At least them, GM, Hyundai and Ford still regularly update their plans and timelines.

Does anyone know who makes the Lucid home chargers for the North American market? I ask because BMW is going bidirectional with Wallbox and I believe Wallbox supplies Lucid chargers in Europe.

I do too.

I generally do as well BUT I used to have a BMW PHEV and back in 2018 they promised it would have the charging plate you could just leave under where you park the car and it would work. It never released the product. So as good as BMW has been on most things, it does occasionally fail.

That is neat. I tend to trust BMW too and do like how they provide updates. Their next gen EV’s sound like they could be nice.
