BMW are planning to offer full-electric variants of the 5 Series and X1 models as part of sweeping product overhaul by the Bavarian car maker.
"In 10 years, the goal is to have a total of more than seven million electrified BMW Group vehicles on the roads — around two thirds of them with a fully-electric drive train," a spokesperson for the company said this week.
Starting next year, BMW Group said it will offer five full-electric cars: the BMW i3, the Mini Cooper SE, the BMW iX3, the BMW iNext and the BMW i4.
In total, BMW will have 25 electrified models on the roads by 2023, around half of them full electric.
No launch date for the the 5-Series or X1 EVs have yet been published. Both models will be available in the future with four drivetrain variants including full-electric, plug-in hybrid, diesel and gasoline with 48-volt technology.
