NEW YORK — Since Tesla has moved in on BMW's dominance as reigning U.S. luxury sales champ, BMW intends to move in on Tesla's dominance as U.S. electric-vehicle king.
The German marque's top executives said last week they are ready to bring out a fleet of electric vehicles, aiming to sell 200,000 of them globally this year — doubling the number it delivered last year.
The focus will be "on a very strong and fast ramp-up of electric vehicles," BMW Group sales chief Pieter Nota told journalists last week at a press event here.
