Electric cars: BMW North America CEO of faux pas

The BMW North America CEO Jim O'Donnell has risked a big statement about power, at the Detroit Motor Show. As reported by MotorAuthority, let slip a comment about the rather pessimistic zero-emission car, stating that at present 90% of users were satisfied with the autonomy available. Despite the swift apology, it is undeniable that a similar statement clashes with the great development work that BMW is doing, with the launch of the brand "the BMW" and the presentation of Minie and ActiveE, with fleets of vehicles already in for clients and even the launch of Evolve software for the analysis of their habits and verification of possible "compatibility" with the electric car.

The BMW 3 Series and 5 Series will also be electric?

The BMW had already had an opening to earlier models of eco-friendly cars, it had discussed the possibility of developing Seire 3 and 5 Series ActiveHybrid. But now we speak not only of the possibility of creating hybrid models, but also to see fully electric versions. In the future you might be the BMW range, using technology that Active Opel engineers are developing.

Among the possible electric cars are the BMW 3 Series and even the 5 Series, but they can see we have to wait at least 2014. As for the BMW sports i8 be proposed with an electric motor at the same time with a true super sports performance.
