The BMW Group has set an ambitious objective to put more than seven million electrified vehicles<\/a> on the road by the end of the decade, with about two-thirds eschewing the combustion engine altogether. It appears the German automaker is eager to hit that target sooner as the company\u2019s CEO Oliver Zipse revealed in an interview plans to further boost the production of EVs in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Talking with regional German daily newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine<\/a><\/em>, BMW\u2019s head honcho said the company will build an additional 250,000 electric cars between 2021 and 2023. He went on to say hybrids and pure EVs will account for approximately 20 percent of total sales by 2023 compared to the 8 percent today.<\/p>\n

During the same interview, Oliver Zipse reiterated plans of introducing additional electric vehicles beyond the iX3 and iX SUVs, with zero-emissions versions of the X1, 5 Series, and 7 Series planned. In addition, the i4<\/a> is debuting next year in production guise as an electric equivalent of the 4 Series Gran Coupe.<\/p>\n
