Nearly 10 years ago, back in February 2011, BMW launched its sub-brand BMW i<\/a>. The first concept cars of the brand, the BMW i3 and BMW i8, were presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the same year. From 2013 onwards, BMW i started to offer their first first full-electric vehicle – the BMW i3. Seven years after the market launch, we saw the 200,000th unit<\/a> of the i3 model rolling of the production line in Leipzig. To date, the BMW i3 is the only mass-produced, fully electric vehicle offered by BMW. Arguably, we can also include the MINI Cooper SE as part of the BMW Group electric offerings.<\/p>\n But this is going to change soon. BMW will launch the all-new iX3 in the beginning of next year and deliveries in the European Union are expected to arrive at customers already by the end of January 2021. From this point onwards, the BMW iX3 will be the third, fully electric vehicle of the BMW Group and is supposed to boost BMWs market share for electric vehicles. The Bavarians are aiming to increase their current market share of 14% for plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles to up to 50% by 2030.<\/p>\nA Flagship Electric Model.
