BMW's electric version costs $4,400 less than gas twin
Original: BMW built the same car for gas and electric. The # EV is $4,400 cheaper. https:// techcrunch.com/2026/09/30/bmw- built-t
BMW is now selling a gas and an electric version of the same car, and the electric one is priced $4,400 below the combustion model. The pricing flip is being read as a milestone for EVs, which have traditionally carried a premium over equivalent petrol cars.
Why now: It signals electric cars may now be cheaper than comparable gas models, a turning point buyers have long been waiting for.
