ALL-ELECTRIC VS PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS.

ELECTRIC CARS.

All-electric cars deliver a smooth, near-silent and exciting driving experience – all without any emissions on the road. Plus, with lower running costs and often less maintenance required compared to fuel-powered cars, they can save you money throughout your ownership.

PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS.

If you’re not ready to commit to an all-electric car but want the option to electrify your drive, BMW plug-in hybrids offer the best of both worlds. You can drive those shorter distances in pure electric mode, while always having the reliability and flexibility of petrol power when you need it.
