The BMW Group more than doubles BEV deliveries in Q2 2023

The BMW Group delivered a total of 88,289 fully-electric BMW and MINI vehicles to customers in the second quarter of 2023.

A new fully-electric BMW i5 will launch in October 2023 as part of the mid-size sedan range, and the first client deliveries of the fully-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre super coupe will occur in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Group says it succeeded in more than doubling its BEV sales from the same period of last year (+117.5%) and that all major regions saw significant sales growth for fully-electric models.

“The BMW Group will continue its successful ramp-up of electromobility at a high pace in the second half of the year,” said Pieter Nota, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands and Sales. 

“Due to our diverse offering – ranging from highly efficient combustion engines to fully electric models – we are addressing the wide variety of customer needs around the globe in an ideal way,” Nota says.

The BMW brand’s fully-electric vehicles performed well in the second quarter, once again more than doubling deliveries from the same period of 2022 (+150.7%). Between April and June, 77,948 fully-electric BMW vehicles were delivered to customers worldwide.

The new fully-electric BMW i7 proved especially popular, as did the fully-electric BMW i4. 

The company has also received very positive customer feedback on the new fully-electric BMW i5 which will be released in October 2023. With the launch of the BMW i5, the BMW Group will have a fully-electric offer in each of its core segments.

Two more fully-electric BMW M Performance models, the BMW i5 M60 Sedan and the BMW i7 M70, are also in the starting blocks for the second half of the year.

Sales of the MINI brand’s fully-electric vehicles were up 8.8% in the second quarter. Since last year, its most popular model has been the fully-electric MINI Cooper SE*. The MINI product line-up now also includes the first fully-electric MINI Cooper SE Convertible.

The fully-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre super coupé, has exceeded the expectations of the BMW Group with an order book that already reaches to the end of 2024. The first client deliveries of the Spectre will occur in the fourth quarter of 2023. By the end of 2030, Rolls-Royce will offer only fully-electric vehicles according to the group.
