Luxury carmaker BMW expects that the share of electric vehicles (EVS) in its order book may go beyond 30 per cent by 2025 from the current 10 per cent, its India President Vikram Pawah told Business Standard in an interview.
"I can clearly see that the electric car segment would have more than a 30 per cent share (in the order book) by 2025 because of the product range that we have. He said that out of the current order book of 5,500 cars, 600 are EVs.
"This clearly shows that the demand for electric cars is above 10 percent, and I expect this share to grow to 15 per cent this year itself," he said. Last year, EVs' share in the order book was about 7-8 per cent.
Of the total 21 car models BMW sells in India, four are EVs.
