In Europe and North America, sales of electric vehicles are clearly increasing. It is said that the total sales of electric vehicles within the BMW group, which BMW announced on December 19 (local time), exceeded 500,000 units. It took 3 years for BMW to sell the first 100,000 units, but it took 3 years to reach 500,000 units again. Therefore, electric vehicle sales are expected to increase with acceleration.
In the case of Nissan, it was in March 2019 that the sales of electric car leaf reached 400,000 units. Tesla announced that it had sold 97,000 electric vehicles in the third quarter of 2019 alone.
BMW’s next goal is to increase its sales to one million units in the next two years. If this goal is realized, it is estimated that electric vehicles must become mainstream in the global market.
In addition, the electric vehicle that BMW refers to includes both PHEVs and hybrid vehicles, and not only fully electric vehicles such as i3 and Mini Cooper SE. It can be said that this announcement was deliberately due to the fact that electric vehicles are attracting worldwide attention. Considering the European policy of preparing high preferential measures for PHEVs, which are effective in reducing carbon dioxide emissions by specification, it is significant that BMW announced that the group’s total sales of electric vehicles reached 500,000 units.
