London, 12 November 2025 – Energy Intelligence Platform, Kaluza and BMW Group today announced a landmark collaboration that represents a significant leap forward for the smart charging ecosystem.
BMW and MINI drivers in the UK can now benefit from fully automated smart charging through a new direct API integration between BMW’s Remote Charging Control and Kaluza’s advanced optimisation platform. The connection enables real-time control of charging sessions to align with the lowest-cost, cleanest electricity available on the grid, supporting renewable generation and enhancing grid stability. For drivers, it delivers a simple, set-and-forget experience with no need for manual scheduling or additional hardware, while ensuring every charge is as efficient and sustainable as possible.
This partnership is unique in that BMW has chosen to bring charging APIs in-house, selecting only a limited number of trusted smart charging partners to integrate directly. Rather than replacing third-party integrations, this direct connection enriches the ecosystem by allowing real-time communication between the vehicle, charger and grid, improving accuracy, security and responsiveness in charging. It strengthens the foundation for greater user adoption and sets a new benchmark for collaboration across the industry.
“BMW has been a fantastic partner to work with and the pace of delivery on both sides has been exceptional,” said Sarah Kenny, Global Head of OEM Partnerships at Kaluza. “From contract signing to go-live in just three months, this milestone demonstrates how rapidly meaningful change can happen when technology and automotive leaders collaborate. This is not just about charging vehicles more efficiently. It is about creating the infrastructure for an intelligent, flexible energy system that benefits everyone.”
This integration cements Kaluza’s position as a trusted technology partner for global automotive and energy companies. By enabling secure, real-time data exchange between vehicles and the energy grid, it lays the foundation for millions of EVs to play an active role in a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
