BMW sells more electric cars than Tesla in some markets and about half as many globally. Unlike the WSJ, I would say these are respectable figures.



I'm finding it hard to find any i series sales figures for anywhere but the US. But in the US last year they sold 11,000 - less than half of what Tesla sold. For pure EVs they took 3rd place behind Tesla and Nissan Leaf. Rumoured about 25,000 worldwide sales which is about half of Tesla's (rapidly growing) worldwide. The Leaf consistently takes second place after Tesla.


Here in Norway, world's 3rd largest EV market, they are behind Nissan, Tesla, VW and KIA.
