I like how BMW caters to ALL the markets and isn't trying to shove one type of technology (architecture) down our throats. There is so much to choose from in this brand and why I will stay with them when the day comes that going all electric makes sense.

Didn't the UK pass a law that all new cars should be electric by 2030? Maybe I'm totally wrong on this but my point is that auto makers may not have much choice soon so they might as well push this avenue and innovate here.

Future (near future) of car is electric. Which isn't that much of a bad thing. I think they still may be able to build fun electric cars if they choose a right chassis. I hate to say this but Sometimes I have more fun driving my i8 in electric mode with its lossy electric power than my crazy M5!

The EV is definitely the near future of the automobile. Virtually every manufacturer is in advanced R&D for at least some of their models to be EV sooner than later and the number of upstarts close to delivering new products is simply unparalleled.
BMW appears well positioned to transition into the EV market smoothly. I like their concept of building EV and ICE together because they can more quickly deliver the vehicles that are most in demand, without extensive retooling or negative impact on their workforce. I’m really looking forward to the future M offerings in EVs. |

I agree. They need to stop letting China dictate their designs for the rest of the world. Keep that shit in China and let the rest of the world enjoy proper car designs.

It doesn't sound like they are really going all electric but rather it seems electric will just be offered as an additional option to gas engines in the future. I don't think gas engines are going away completely, and will only get more fuel efficient with time.

It says in the article you posted that bmws plans for the future to sell EV alongside combustion engine cars and PHEVs. If they all have to be gone by 2030 then I don't know why they are still planning in 2025 to continue developing gas engines.

Yep I agree. Majority of the world gas engines ain't going anywhere anytime soon. I believe it's best anyways to leave it up to consumers to choose what's best suited to them while continuing to improve c02 emissions.

Electric cars NOT going to be the mainstream for many many years. That 2030 rule will get pushed back like it has been over and over again in the past.

Maybe the US will stick with the outdated combustion concept but not the rest of the world and surely not EU. After yesterdays decisions on German Autogipfel (Car Summit) it‘s clear. Or like the ancient Romans said: alea iacta est!

Very interesting. I've been buying BMWs for 20 years, but not sure that loyalty will translate to electric. I look forward with interest to see who does electric best.
