Not long ago, BMW announced that it has sold a total of 1 million electric vehicles, and plans to double its cumulative sales of electric vehicles to 2 million by 2025.

Chiptzer said, "The demand for electric vehicles is very high. At present, BMW's i4 and iX are both on the market, of which the i4 is a compact sedan, while the iX is positioned as an electric mid-size luxury crossover; more than that, next year, BMW also plans to launch an electric version of the flagship model 7 Series. ”

BMW aims to reduce emissions by 2030 with more than 50 percent of all cars sold worldwide as pure electric models. For whether this goal can be achieved, BMW believes that the lag in the construction of charging infrastructure at this stage will become an obstacle.

When it comes to the impact of the global chip shortage, Chiptzer is more optimistic that the chip shortage will end within a year, he said, "It is expected that by the end of next year, automobile production will fully return to normalcy." (Compiled by Guo Yue, China Economic Network)
