Our friends at Handelsblatt report that pressure from U.S. manufacturer Tesla and falling i3 sales have prompted an executive shakeup and acceleration of BMW’s plans to produce all-electric vehicle versions of popular models.
BMW is also planning major changes in its electric mobility strategy to keep up with U.S. rival Tesla. In addition to the fully electric “i3” models, which have been in production since 2013, BMW will also offer fully electric versions of the Mini, the BMW3 series and the X4 SUV, which is built in the United States.
