“Extending the ChargeNow by EVgo programs to include Certified Pre-Owned BMW i models demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting electromobility over the long-term,” noted Robert Healey, Head of EV Infrastructure for BMW of North America. “With the addition of CPO BMW i3 and i8 vehicles into ChargeNow by EVgo, we continue to make driving with BMW i as convenient and cost-effective as possible, whether our customer chooses to purchase a new or Certified Pre-Owned BMW i3 or i8.”
“We are pleased to further collaborate with BMW to support all BMW plug-in owners,” commented Robert Barrosa, Vice President OEM Strategy & Business Development. “The ChargeNow by EVgo CPO program is a great benefit to new electric vehicle drivers, enabling them to maximize their electric miles with on-the-go charging at the largest DC Fast charging network in the country.”
This latest offering complements the wide array of exclusive BMW public charging programs currently available as part of ChargeNow by EVgo. Other program options for new BMW i and BMW iPerformance vehicle owners include:
ChargeNow DC Fast. Currently, eligible BMW i3 drivers in key markets who purchase their vehicle on or after November 1, 2015** are eligible for 24 months of no cost, unlimited 30 minute DC and 1 hour Level 2 charging sessions at participating EVgo stations, with ChargeNow DC Fast. Originally introduced in July 2014 in California, the program resulted in the successful installation of more than 100 EVgo stations with DC Fast Combo (CCS) chargers throughout the state, while providing enrolled BMW i3 owners with no-cost access to these stations. With BMW’s continued support as part of the expansion of ChargeNow DC Fast, EVgo is currently in the process of installing 500 additional DC Fast Combo chargers across the US by the end of 2018, with more than 600 total EVgo charging stations offering DC Fast planned to be installed through this program. Fleet customers are not eligible for ChargeNow DC Fast. For a complete list of terms and conditions, please visit www.ChargeNowUSA.com.

Just got this response from ChargeNow concerning my attempt to enroll in the new CPO program.
“Your BMW i3 has been deemed ineligible for participation in ChargeNow DC Fast due to the following reason : Only Model Year 2015 or later BMW i3 vehicles are eligible. We invite you to explore ChargeNow by EVgo http://www.chargenowusa.com , for access and preferred pricing at participating EVgo stations in 25 markets, using the ChargeNow card. Learn more and enroll http://www.chargenowusa.com .”
I did buy, last month, a CPO 2014 BEV i3 Giga World at our local BMW dealer. I hope BMW is not excluding 2014 CPO i3s from this new program. It would make joke of and a sad commentary on Robert Healey’s belief that ” the company’s commitment to supporting electromobility over the long-term,”
How did you register? I called the toll free number and they told me that 2014 CPO i3’s are not eligible.
Yes it is complicated….confusion in the industry (https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/78c221dd72370e32c56425a65e203981c8089464b09ea0c5cb2fa05127cb1cce.png )

and after you enter vin and other info you should get to the proper area to select CPO.
Below is support. They know what they are doing and should help finalizing your enrollment. Email was enough to get the support that finalized my enrollment.
