Electric Vehicles Now = 15% Of BMW Passenger Car Sales In N. America, 10% Of Brand Sales
We've been having a considerable measure of fun with BMW of late — from dreams for the i5, to news of huge BMW i3 and BMW i8 territory supports, to bits of gossip about an electric MINI Rocketman, to second-round test drives of the fun i3. I know our various perusers traverse a wide range with regards to EV and automaker inclinations, with numerous 100%-electric-Tesla fanbois and fangurls additionally a lot of individuals who lean toward ordinary automakers and their ways to deal with the EV market.
As you may understand at this point, my take is that no ordinary automakers appear to attempt on the electric vehicle front — with maybe the most noteworthy appraisals being 60–70% from any semblance of BMW, GM, and Renault-Nissan. Contingent upon the particular point (and most likely my disposition), I'm either disposed to bolster these automakers for the endeavors they've made and cheer them toward a "100% exertion," or I'm slanted to bash them for dawdling and gambling both their own corporate fates and also the eventual fate of humankind and endless different species.
Today, I'd urge individuals to applaud BMW for 2.5% of worldwide BMW Group deals being module electrics (counting module cross breeds), while additionally pushing BMW to venture up its amusement with a specific end goal to get to 10%, 20%, and half much snappier than just about anybody supposes conceivable. In the event that BMW doesn't do as such, I'm anxious about the possibility that that it will have its extravagance/execution auto lunch eaten before twelve by the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X. (I know, they're in the wrong request, yet I feel that is the request for which will have the most effect on BMW.)
Returning to the BMW news of the day, here are some more hot details from a late BMW official statement (h/t Mike Millikan):
4,504 worldwide BMW battery-electric and module half and half vehicles in April 2016.
That is 2.5% of BMW's worldwide car deals in April (179,285), or ~1 out of 40 BMW deals.
1,854 BMW i3 deals in April 2016.

Moreover, the public statement about BMW Group's worldwide deals drove with a photo of the BMW i3, the main picture in the discharge. That is stating something.
However, take note of that BMW's public statement for US and North America deals didn't say BMW i or X5 xDrive 40e deals by any means.
