Aunque sus entregas aún son pequeñas en el conjunto de las ventas de coches en España, durante el pasado mes de agosto se vendieron 84 coches eléctricos, un 61,5% más que en el mismo mes del año anterior, y 1.443 vehículos híbridos, un 99,5% más que en el octavo mes del año pasado, según los datos facilitados por la Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Automóviles y Camiones (Anfac).
German luxury car giant Bayerische Motoren Werke AG or BMW Group (BAMXY, BAMXF, BMW.L) is looking to go all-electric over the next 10 years due to the upcoming stricter carbon emission laws. Virtually every BMW model would be converted to electric drivetrains, including range-extending engines and plug-in hybrids.
The transition will see even the company's top-selling 3 Series sport sedans turned into plug-in hybrids.
The company is weary of the stringent European Union regulations that greatly reduce the average carbon emissions permitted from road vehicles. They are said to be tougher than either North American or Chinese emission levels.

When people think of electric vehicles, they think of Tesla. But if you want to see the future of EVs it’s important to look elsewhere. Despite glowing media reports, Tesla is not disruptive, and it will have trouble scaling as it seeks to grow.
