BMW estimates 295 miles of EPA range for the eDrive40 with standard 19-inch wheels, while the i5 M60 xDrive goes 256 miles.

BMW and PG&E plan to follow up the pilot program with a "field trial" in California, and a fleet of vehicles equipped for V2G operation.

Due in 2025, the future family of BMWs aiming for range and affordability will incorporate many or all of their displays in the windshield, as part of a "driver-centric" approach.

That may allow these new EVs, and their related battery production facility, to qualify for U.S. tax credits and supply-chain incentives.

In design, the BMW i Vision Dee bucks the trend of more screens—and it harks back to the heritage of small, sporty BMW 3-Series models.

BMW CEO Oliver Zipse says that BMW isn't giving up on affordable EVs, although Mini may be part of that plan.

The plant will make cylindrical cells at up to 30 gigawatt-hours of annual capacity and will be powered by powered by 100% net-zero carbon energy.

The German automaker is using Toyota fuel cells for its hydrogen-powered SUV, but many of the electric-drive components are borrowed from the i4 and iX battery electric models.

Two motors power each axle, meaning each wheel gets its own individual motor, in a special BMW i4 M50 development mule.

EVE has signed contracts to be BMW's primary supplier of battery cells in Europe for a new line of EVs debuting in 2025, according to the report.

A more affordable version of the i4 is due to come to the U.S. early next year, with its smaller 66-kwh (usable) battery pack and less power the most significant differences.

All the other electric SUVs might seem a little bland after driving the BMW iX, which can feel equal parts charming and off-putting. Just make sure you’re at peace with the styling.

One chemistry will be devoted to power delivery, the other to energy storage—boosting range while minimizing use of nickel and cobalt, ONE claims.

SUVs aside, BMW will start truly diverging its EVs from the rest of its traditional lineup in 2025. But in the meantime, it sees no hurry in forfeiting its share of gasoline sales.

The i7 is a 7-Series EV, built on what BMW calls a flexible vehicle architecture engineered and conceived for three different drive types from the start: mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid gasoline versions, and fully electric.

The X3 is in a size class that's erupting with plug-in options, but it's not offering any for the 2022 model year.

The BMW iX M60 will bring M performance to the electric SUV lineup, rivaling the Audi E-Tron S and Tesla Model X Plaid.

The BMW iX SUV earns more than the 300-mile range the automaker had been hinting, but the top performance version of the i4 has an underwhelming range rating.

The iX xDrive50 could set a new standard for sustainable luxury in electric SUVs when it arrives in early 2022.

BMW apparently won't be chasing the long range numbers of Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, or Mercedes, because of charging infrastructure development.
