The company’s board member Pieter Nota told Reuters that about 70% of EVs sold so far were hybrids. The company believes that hybrid models have their own niche. These models will continue to play their part for customers in places where customer access to chargers is very difficult or non-existent.
Continuing to modernize fossil fuel-burning cars was another important step towards making the industry more sustainable. “Only then can we make a difference in the customer base,” he said.
BMW has long been more inclined to invest in a range of technologies to reduce emissions rather than focus on battery-electric cars. That is, instead of focusing only on making battery-powered cars, the company is working on all those methods and technology so that emissions can be reduced.
The German carmaker aims to have 50 percent of global sales in electric cars by 2030. That is, in the next 9 years, the company will take its sales of electric cars to 50 percent. But at the same time, it cannot be denied that the lack of charging infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for EVs remains a major hurdle in this direction.
The company’s board member said that compared to last year, the sale in November this year has been a bit sluggish. The reason for this has been attributed to the lack of chips at the global level. But the company has said that its overall growth is going to be higher this year than last year.
