With various governments across the world making a push for all-electric mobility, the road ahead for automakers seem to be set in stone. Either embrace electric vehicles (EVs) or die. While Tesla seems to stealing the show, BMW is planning on upping the ante to enter the league of electric vehicle manufacturers. Every time someone tries to outdo Tesla, the Elon Musk-led company comes up with something or the other to retaliate. But with most carmakers making a stride towards electrification, Tesla better watch out!

While the Bavarian carmaker was the first among its peers to introduce a fully-electrified sub-brand called the BMW i in 2013, it didn’t really take off as the carmaker would have hoped. However, come 2025, and BMW Group, including its sub-brand Mini, is planning to launch not less than 25 electrified cars, which will include plug-in hybrids as well as all-electric vehicles.
