BMW plans all-electric sedan

BMW has revealed plans for the production version of its all-electric sedan.

The BMW I Vision Dynamics Concept car emerged late last year.

It will go into production by 2025 and be sold globally as the BMW i4, according to BMW Group chief executive officer Harald Krüger, Green Car

Reports says.

That underscores the company’s renewed intention to keep at least some dedicated electric vehicles to sell under its “i” sub-brand that launched with the 2014 BMW i3 hatchback minicar and the BMW i8 plug-in hybrid coupe.

“We unveiled our take on the future of e‑mobility with the BMW i Vision Dynamics” at the Frankfurt show, Krüger says. “This vehicle will become reality; we will build it in Munich as the BMW i4.”

The BMW i4 will be one of 12 battery-electric models the company expects to sell by 2025, but it is likely to arrive sooner.

An electric Mini Cooper and an electric BMW X3 have also been confirmed by 2020.
Starting in 2021, BMW says its electric cars will offers ranges of up to 600km.

The concept will go from 0 to 96.5km/h in under four seconds, and reach 193km/h.
