The BMW Group said on Wednesday it has sold its three millionth electrified vehicle, more than 1.5 million of which are fully electric, underscoring the carmaker’s progress in expanding its premium electrified lineup.
The milestone was symbolized by the handover of a 3 Series plug-in hybrid from its Munich plant, the company said. Deliveries of both fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles grew strongly in the first half of 2025, with more than one in four BMW Group vehicles sold during the period being electrified.
“Electrified vehicles are an essential part of our technology-neutral portfolio,” said Jochen Goller, BMW AG board member responsible for customer, brands and sales. “More than one in four of the vehicles we sold in the first half of 2025 were electrified, which shows how strongly our customers are embracing sustainable mobility solutions.”
Europe remains the company’s largest market for electrified cars, accounting for more than 60% of global deliveries and surpassing a 40% share of total sales in the region. Plug-in hybrids posted strong year-on-year growth, BMW said.
The company previously celebrated the sale of its 1.5 millionth fully electric vehicle, a MINI Countryman produced in Leipzig and delivered to a customer in Portugal. BMW noted that if all 1.5 million fully electric vehicles were lined up, they would stretch about 6,500 kilometers—the distance from Munich to New York.
The BMW Group currently offers more than 15 fully electric models and over ten plug-in hybrids across its brands, which include BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and BMW Motorrad. Its strategy focuses on “electric, digital, and circular” mobility, with models such as the revised BMW iX now offering ranges of more than 700 kilometers under WLTP standards.
In 2024, BMW sold 2.45 million passenger vehicles and over 210,000 motorcycles worldwide. The company, which operates more than 30 production sites and has a presence in over 140 countries, reported revenues of €142.4 billion and profit before tax of €11 billion last year.
