"By 2025, our global vehicle portfolio will include 25 fully- or part-electric models. At last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, we unveiled our take on the future of e-mobility with the BMW iVision Dynamics. This vehicle will become reality: we will build it in Munich - as the BMW i4," Kruger added.

BMW's iVision Dynamics uses the advanced electric system which has the ability to go from 0 to 100kmph in just 4 seconds, and has a top speed of 200kmph. The company also claims that the upcoming electric models under the new platform will have the ability to travel almost 600kms under a single charge. If we go by the digits, then the upcoming BMW i4 has the capability to take on the Tesla Model S head to head. Post the Model S facelift, the new model is capable of doing the 0-100 km/h run in 5.5 seconds with a total range of 376 km.
