BMW Group reaches three million electrified vehicles sold

BMW Group sells its three millionth electrified car, with over 1.5 million fully electric models delivered and Europe leading sales growth

BMW Group has reached a significant milestone in its electrification strategy. In August 2025, the company delivered its three-millionth electrified vehicle to a customer in Munich — a BMW 330e Touring plug-in hybrid. Out of this total, more than 1.5 million are fully electric models, highlighting the accelerating shift towards zero-emission technologies.

Just weeks earlier, another symbolic achievement was recorded: the 1.5-millionth all-electric BMW Group vehicle, a MINI Countryman E built in Leipzig, was handed over to a customer in Portugal. If every fully electric BMW vehicle were lined up, they would stretch from Munich to New York City.

Company figures confirm the trend. In the first half of 2025, BMW Group sold nearly 319,000 electrified vehicles, an increase of 18.5% compared with the previous year. In 2024, the total reached around 593,000 electrified cars, including more than 426,000 battery-electric models. This means that about one in four BMW Group vehicles sold in 2024 came with an electrified drivetrain.

Europe remains the core market, even though recent press releases did not provide precise shares by region. The company emphasizes growing demand for plug-in hybrids as well as continued interest in premium battery-electric cars — from compact models like the iX1 and i4 to the larger iX SUV.

BMW is also investing heavily in next-generation battery technology. Its sixth-generation eDrive, based on 46-millimeter cylindrical cells, is expected to deliver up to 30% more range and significantly faster charging. Production will be secured through new plants in Germany and the United States, and through long-term supply agreements with CATL and EVE Energy. Facilities in Straßkirchen (Bavaria) and Woodruff (South Carolina) are already under construction.

The company’s strategy goes beyond new models. BMW is part of the European IONITY consortium, which aims to triple the number of high-power charging points by 2030, and has also joined the North American IONNA alliance to roll out a network of 30,000 charging stations.

BMW’s electric journey began as early as 1972, when the BMW 1602 Elektro was showcased at the Munich Olympics. The launch of the i3 in 2013 marked the brand’s first mass-produced BEV, and today the lineup includes more than 15 fully electric cars and over 10 plug-in hybrids.

The three-millionth vehicle milestone illustrates not only the growth in sales but also the resilience of BMW’s long-term strategy, built on electric, digital and circular mobility. While some premium rivals are adjusting their plans amid slowing BEV demand, BMW continues to strengthen its leadership with investments in technology and infrastructure.
