It is estimated spend on electric vehicle charging at home will exceed R241bn globally in 2026, up from R51.2bn in 2021, and by 2026 more than 21-million households will recharge using a home wall box charger.

BMW is offering a free wall box charger and installation worth R15,000 to all iX customers.
