Last update :

Officially, the German automaker only plans to build a fully electric MINI in 2019, a fully electric BMW X3 in 2020, and the upcoming "fully electric BMW iNEXT" should follow in 2021. But they could be releasing updated versions of their current EVs in order to compete with new longer range electric cars coming to market. As for the BMW i3, it already got a significant update with the 2017 version and its 33 kWh battery pack, which enables a range of about 114 miles. There have been a lot of rumors lately about BMW's electric vehicle offering. According to an inside source talking to BMWBlog, that could change with an upcoming new version for 2018-2019.

One source said: "If Mini became a fully electric brand in the long run, and Oxford only knew how to build combustion-engine variants, the plant would lose its relevance." 'Lose its relevance'Between 2012 and 2015, BMW Group invested £750m to upgrade manufacturing sites in Oxford, Hams Hall and Swindon. The threat of further strikes at the Oxford plant ended last month when Unite members accepted a revised offer over the closure of their final salary pension scheme.
