en.Wedoany.com Reported - The BMW Group recently produced its 2 millionth all-electric vehicle at its German plant, marking a significant milestone in the company's electrification journey. Since the first i3 rolled off the production line in 2013, it took BMW approximately 11 years to reach the first million units, but only two years to go from 1 million to 2 million.
This landmark BMW i5 M60 xDrive will be delivered to a buyer in Spain, reflecting the strong demand for electric vehicles in the European market. In 2025, sales of all-electric vehicles in the EU grew by 28%, with about one in five new cars being electric. To meet demand, BMW has implemented mixed production lines for electric and combustion engine vehicles across all its German plants, allowing flexible responses to market changes.
In 2025, BMW delivered 442,072 all-electric vehicles globally, with a slowdown in growth. In the United States, annual all-electric sales fell to 42,484 units, a year-on-year decline of 16.7%, with fourth-quarter sales plunging 45.5% particularly after the federal tax credit was eliminated. Sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles, however, grew by over 30%. Demand in the Chinese market declined, with an overall double-digit drop, dragging down global performance.
Regarding new models, the BMW iX3, the first model in the Neue Klasse series, has already entered showrooms, and the i3 electric 3 Series will follow shortly. The first electric X5 and a Rolls-Royce electric SUV are under development. These new vehicles will help sustain the growth in BMW's electric vehicle registrations, but Volkswagen is moving at a faster pace—it reached 2 million units just 10 months after its 1 millionth electric vehicle rolled off the line. With the launch of the upgraded ID.3 and the ID. Polo, Volkswagen is expected to achieve its next million-unit milestone even more quickly.
