BMW's electric version undercuts its gas twin by $4,400
Original: BMW built the same car for gas and electric. The EV is $4,400 cheaper.
BMW now sells the same model with both a gasoline and a fully electric powertrain, and the electric version is priced $4,400 lower than the combustion one. The rare price crossover marks a milestone in EV affordability, as electric cars have typically carried a premium over comparable gas vehicles, and is drawing attention across the auto industry.
Why now: An electric car costing less than its gas equivalent is a notable reversal of the usual EV price premium.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 8 snapshots from 10 h ago to 33 min ago.
