CAMPBELL, CA--September 25, 2012: ChargePoint today announced it has partnered with BMW for its unique, premium electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing service program in San Francisco. ChargePoint, the largest online global charging network, connects the new charging stations throughout San Francisco, Burlingame, Palo Alto and Oakland. BMW recently announced its DriveNow and ParkNow programs, which provide drivers the opportunity to experience BMW's first all-electric vehicle, the BMW ActiveE with zero-emission driving. The San Francisco car-sharing and parking space programs are the first of several locations which BMW anticipates activating across North America in the coming months.

We provide the easiest, most convenient way to charge, and convenient ways to pay for charging, 24x7 driver support and valuable driver services."
