![]() ![]() We will also be growing our sales of fully electric models by well over 50% per year over the next few years-more than 10 times the figure for 2020.” By 2030, the company said approximately half its global sales will be battery cars. Zipse also said, in March, “By the end of 2025, we will have delivered a total of around two million fully electric vehicles to customers. ![]() But BMW is undoubtedly BEV-electrifying, too. CEO Oliver Zipse says that gas engine development will continue and that demand for internal combustion “will remain robust for many years to come” and most of BMW’s top-selling models have plug-in versions, including the X3, X5, 3 Series, 5 Series and 7 Series. ![]() The automaker from Bavaria is a holdout among the German carmakers in terms of fully electric vehicles, as opposed to here-and-now plug-ins. We are not only working on one electric car but a full family of electric cars.” Bentley’s first EV will arrive in 2025, and it’s expected to be an SUV built on the VW Group’s Artemis platform. According to CEO Adrian Hallmark, “The future of Bentley will be fully electric. By 2026, all its cars will be plug-in hybrids or all-electric, and by 2030, goodbye tailpipes. Perhaps the most unlikely candidate for early electrification on this list, Bentley is nevertheless all in. A battery electric vehicle (EV or BEV) runs only on battery power the largest batteries are five to 10 times as big as a plug-in’s battery. Hydrogen fuel cells can also produce electricity for propulsion.ĮVs and PHEVs need chargers and both are eligible for federal tax credits of up to $7,500 if the battery is big enough. It’s a bridge technology good through 2030 or 2040. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle ( PHEV or plug-in) uses a battery about 10 times as big as a hybrid and can drive the car 20 to 50 miles before the gasoline engine kicks in, meaning it can be a full-electric as a commuter car Monday to Friday, then act as a traditional car on weekends. Hybrid vehicles boost fuel economy but they’re not seen as a long-term solution. A hybrid vehicle uses gasoline and a bit of electricity the battery drives the car a mile or two and recharges when the car slows or goes downhill. There are three levels of electrification. ![]()
