BMW has officially produced two million EVs as the German giant looks to catch up with other EV brands.
The two-millionth vehicle was a Tansanit Blue i5 M60 xDrive sedan, built at the company’s Dingolfing plant in Lower Bavaria, Germany. Per BMW, the vehicle is destined for a client in Spain.
The 2 million milestone is significant and shows the massive ramp-up BMW has undergone in its EV lineup and commitment to electrification. The first BMW EV was the i3, which began production in September 2013 at its Leipzig Plant.
It took BMW 11 years to surpass 1 million EVs produced. The next million has only taken 2 years.
For BMW, the strategy has focused on specific electrified hubs and on ensuring that its German production plants can assist. Dingolfing has become the company’s electrified hub and has produced more than 320,000 electric vehicles since 2021.
The plant produces the iX SUV, i7 luxury sedan and the i5 sedan and touring body styles. While three other plants in its German network produce at least one other EV.
Per industry insiders, BMW plans to make Munich its EV hub moving forward. The company plans to produce the next-generation Neue Klasse platform in Bavaria starting this summer.
Plant Munich will then become the only European BMW plant to produce soleley EVs starting in 2027.
