BMW has not been a major voice in the EV market over the last few years but things seem to be changing. The company is about to bring out the BMW i3 and has been very vocal of late, even suggesting that journey capacity for the industry as a whole will double over the next 5 years.

Is BMW about to become a major player in the EV sector?
