Recently, according to Der Spiegel, MINI plans to stop selling gasoline-powered cars by 2030, with the last gasoline car model to be launched in 2025. By 2027, half of the models sold by MINI will be electric vehicles.
According to the current schedule for electrification transformation, MINI will be the first brand under BMW Group to complete full electrification. Compared with other brands, MINI has only three models, Cooper, Clubman and Countryman, making electrification relatively easy.
Currently, BMW Group plans to increase the production of electric vehicles by 25% and increase its sales share from the current 8% to 20% between 2021 and 2023, hoping to further expand its market share, but has not yet announced the specific schedule for its electrification transformation.
Other traditional car companies have also announced similar plans. Daimler stopped the research and development of internal combustion engines in 2019. Jaguar plans to achieve complete electrification of all its products by 2025. Volvo plans to stop producing gasoline cars from 2030 and only sell electric cars. General Motors plans to only produce electric vehicles after 2035 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.
