I looked into this when Apple released iOS 14. It’s a great idea, essentially allowing BMW’s ConnectedDrive to share your vehicle’s battery state of charge to your iPhone and Car Play. The API or web service has not been implemented by BMW.

I suspect BMW was waiting for the release of MY BMW App on iOS and add this functionality, but who knows.

What’s annoying is BMW & Ford were launch partners with Apple on this feature.

Here’s a previous post from a year ago on this topic.

Well, I heard back from a BMW Genius and Apple Maps EV routing won’t be made available for the i3. The feature will only make its way to the newer generation of EVs in the portfolio. Bummer.
