The Road Ahead

BMW Group believes that the trend will continue for 2022 as well. The carmaker is aiming to enhance its range of electric vehicles. With the growing demand for electric vehicles across the world, EVs are getting very popular. Luxury carmakers like BMW are also shifting their focus away from ICE engines. For this current year, BMW aims to double its sales of fully electric vehicles. The long term target is to sell a total of about ten million fully electric vehicles over the next ten years.By 2030 both Mini and Rolls-Royce aim to become an all-electric brand.

Furthermore, to enhance customers’ experience, the group is heavily investing in digitalisation. Customers can now leverage a host of services from the comfort of their homes. The new My BMW/Mini mobile app gets a wide range of applications starting from online service booking to accessing charging stations.

EVs Are The Future

In 2021, around 13 per cent, which is 318,316 units, BMW and Mini vehicles sold were electrified. Specifically for Europe, the figure stood at 225,415 units, which is around 23 per cent. For 2022, BMW has confirmed that electrified versions of the 7 series and X1 will hit the roads. And by 2023, we would see the much in demand BMW 5 series in its electrified avatar. For Mini, we will see the electrified version of its top-selling Countryman. And Rolls-Royce’s first-ever electric car, named Spectre, will also hit the market in 2023.
