BMW recently stated that the next-generation X3 compact SUV will provide an all-electric version, and its Mini brand models are also scheduled to be launched in three years. Industry analysts believe that this move means that BMW is beginning to expand its luxury electric car market.
BMW is currently facing fierce competition from German domestic Daimler and Volkswagen as well as the United States Tesla. These companies are actively planning to use high-end electric vehicles to quickly occupy a more buying consumer group.
In 2013, BMW has launched the i3 electric version of the car. This model uses a carbon fiber lightweight body instead of a steel or aluminum body. However, i3 sales are not ideal.
On the other hand, competitors: Tesla plans to sell more than 80,000 electric cars this year. In addition, 400,000 consumers have subscribed to the Tesla Model 3. Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said that the Model 3 is scheduled to be sold in July 2017. In addition, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen also announced a new round of electric vehicle plans at this week's Paris Motor Show.
With the gradual maturity of electric vehicle technology, all countries in the world are actively introducing electric vehicle plans. In the United States, California and several other states have increased sales quotas for electric vehicles. One of the goals in California is that by 15% of total vehicle sales by 2025, battery power will be used. In addition, China and European countries are also making similar arrangements.
