Introducing the BMW i Series range
The BMW i Series range is the brand's selection of all-electric cars, meaning they do not use a traditional engine like their hybrid counterparts.
Offering greater efficiency and zero emissions, the electric BMW range is worth exploring if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint without compromising on an excellent driving experience.
The range consists of a handful of handsome saloons, which are a popular choice if you need a new company car, whilst the electric SUVs make fine companions for daily driving.

Benefits of buying an electric BMW
High-Power Charging with IONITY
BMW’s partner IONITY provides high-power electric charging stations for ultrafast charging along Europe’s main transit routes.
Low Running Costs
The cost of charging compared to refuelling is considerably less expensive, and you will also benefit from low vehicle excise duty rates (road tax).
Zero Emissions
Electric cars are better for the environment and emit no tailpipe emissions, meaning you will not be charged to enter low emissions zones.
What are the different types of hybrid and electric vehicles?
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV)
Mild hybrid systems assist the ICE and improve fuel economy by harvesting and storing energy that is normally lost when braking.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
HEVs combine an ICE with an electric motor and battery pack that is charged through regenerative braking to offer all-electric driving for short distances.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV)
A PHEV uses a similar setup to a HEV, but has a much larger battery pack to offer a more substantial all-electric range. You will need to plug in to fully recharge.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
BEVs only use an electric motor and battery pack for power, producing zero tailpipe emissions and impressive all-electric ranges. There is no combustion engine, so you will need to plug in to recharge.
