How is BMW responding? By launching a flurry of models in the near future. Later this week, the\u00a0i7<\/a>\u00a0will receive its world premiere as a response to the Mercedes EQS<\/a> and Model S. The end of 2022 will bring us the iX1<\/a> to serve as the EV equivalent of the next X1 compact crossover. Come 2023, the smaller i5 will follow as an electric variant of the next-generation 5 Series Sedan. The greater BMW Group is going to roll out the MINI Countryman EV and Rolls-Royce Spectre<\/a> next year.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, BMW just introduced an\u00a0 i3 Sedan<\/a>\u00a0as a Tesla Model 3 competitor, but only in China. Elsewhere, the i4 fulfills that role and is joined by the Model X-rivaling iX. While new EVs are being added to the lineup, the quirky-but-loveable i3 hatchback is being discontinued. For the time being, the i4 and iX are the commercial hits for the Bavarians. We mustn\u2019t omit the iX3, but the company has decided against bringing it to the United States.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Nota mentioned dealers have hundreds of orders for the two and the waiting time has increased to six months. CEO Oliver Zipse estimates demand for EVs will continue to grow. For this reason, preparations are being made to make the most of the available production capacity.<\/p>\n

Despite the obvious electric push, BMW isn\u2019t keen on dropping internal combustion engines in the foreseeable future. The luxury brand believes\u00a0 EVs are still not globally feasible<\/a>, mainly because they\u2019re still more expensive than ICEs and the charging infrastructure isn\u2019t ready yet.<\/p>\n
