BMW.SG | BMW Singapore Owners Community The Ultimate BMW Community – Established Since 2001
Recent sales report reveals BMW Group has sold 61,652 electrified vehicles in the first half of 2020. Both plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles are included in this number. Whereas, 179,050 units from electric line-up has been sold, so far in 2020, by the California-based automaker Tesla.
At large, BMW’s sales with 842,153 is still a sizable lead over Tesla in the first half of the year; this is despite the coronavirus crisis, which greatly reduced their sales by 21.7 percent. If we include the MINI brand (118,862 units), the difference in overall units is even larger- garnering a total of 961,015 vehicles sold.
Fairly, 2019 and 2020 are considerably transition years for BMW’s electric vehicles which currently only sells the i3 and MINI Cooper SE. In addition, the all-electric BMW iX3 will go on sale later this year, but first in China. And in 2021, we will finally get to see the iX crossover, followed by the BMW i4 in early 2022.
Thereafter, nearly every lineup will be offering a fully electric model. For the coming 2022-2023, BMW will release the BMW i7, afterwards iX1 SUV and a 5 Series electric will be up.
The recently unveiled Cybertruck and Roadster vehicles are expected to get an expansion from Tesla by 2023. Adding to that a potential small hatchback and sedan.
With the rise on various electric vehicles, it’s exciting to know how these premium automakers will compete. The race for new patrons will be more interesting than ever.
