BMW plans to sell only electric cars by 2025

Big Motoring World reviews BMW’s plans to sell only electric cars within ten years. The German automaker has dedicated a lot of time, money and workforce to Project i, which is dedicated to building fuel-alternative vehicles.

The factories used are eco-friendly and equate to a large part of BMW’s current model range.

Electric Power

The planned cars would still use a small gas engine to generate the electricity and extend the range of the batteries, but the main power of the vehicle would come from separate electric motors for the front and rear wheels.

Part of this decision has been forced by restrictions set by the EU on carbon emissions, whilst BMW’s hybrid and electric cars have also seen success in the current market. Celebrities including Steven Spielberg, Don Cheadle, James Cameron and Zooey Deschanel have all shown their eco-friendly mind-sets this year by driving electric cars.

BMW Project

And BMW’s first two cars from Project i, the £28,000 i3 electric and the £86,000 i8 supercar, have been successful on the market. The i3 is currently the fourth-best selling electric vehicle in the US.

Mercedes-Benz are also jumping on the electric bandwagon with a new SUV, the GLC, to be released later this year. The model was released earlier this year but will now be joined by a hybrid version.
