BMW's electric version costs $4,400 less than its gas twin
Original: BMW built the same car for gas and electric. The EV is $4,400 cheaper.
BMW is now selling the same car model in both gasoline and fully electric versions, with the electric variant priced $4,400 below the combustion-engined one. It is a notable milestone, as electric vehicles have typically carried a price premium over comparable gas cars, and it suggests battery costs are falling enough to flip the equation.
Why now: An electric car undercutting its gas equivalent challenges the long-standing price premium on EVs, making it a talking point for buyers and the auto industry.
