List of future BMW electric models
Luckily for those who love the electric car and BMW, the future’s looking bright. By 2020, BMW plans to have an electric variant of every single model in its lineup. In addition to the ones that are already electronically powered, BMW will add the following to its list of electrified vehicles:
BMW 4-Series
BMW 6-Series Coupes
BMW X4

What about BMW plug-in hybrids and fuel-cell models?
There are already plug-in hybrid versions of the 3- , 5- and 7-Series models, as well as the X5 SUV. Each model that offers this falls under BMW’s i performance category – where the famous i3 and i8 also sit. These types of powertrains fall under the electric category, which means that the brand will just have to add batteries to the models we listed above.
As for fuel-cell technology, the brand anticipates also breaking into this market within the next decade, as it doesn’t anticipate the market for electricity will be a massive seller.
