German automaker BMW has increased its sales targets for the next couple of years after delivering its one millionth electrified vehicle.

Pieter Nota, BMW’s board member responsible for customer, brands and sales, branded it a “milestone in our transformation” and revealed the next target was two million in two years.

“Thanks to our steadily growing product range, we are setting ourselves ambitious sales targets, in particular for fully-electric vehicles,” he said. “In 2022, we aim to double this year’s sales.”

Growing electric

According to Nota, BMW will have delivered around two million fully-electric vehicles to customers by 2025.

“We expect at least one out of every two BMW Group vehicles sold to be fully electric by 2030,” Nota continued.

The news follows the release of the BMW iX and the BMW i4 in mid-November, with the manufacturer revealing new orders from around the globe.

The high-volume BMW 5 Series will be added to the electric portfolio in 2023, followed by the successor to the MINI Countryman and the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre.

“By 2023, the company will already have at least one fully-electric model on the roads in about 90% of its current market segments,” stated the company.

BMW also hopes to release a total of about 10 million fully-electric vehicles onto the roads over the next decade.

Milestone vehicle

The company said the milestone vehicle was a BMW iX xDrive40, which was handed over at BMW Welt in Munich.

The customer was also given a BMW Wallbox, including installation, as well as a credit for public Europe-wide charging with BMW Charging.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
