CEO of BMW North America Jim O’Donnell revealed to a US news outlet that the ActiveE – an electric version of the 1 Series coupe won’t actually work.
Mr O’Donnell supported his outburst by saying the battery life of electric vehicles will be no good for over 90% of the human population, he even urged the government to scrap any plans they have of offering tax credits for people who purchase an Electric Vehicle (EV).
Experts have long criticised the battery capabilities and range of an EV, even in an infinitely smaller country such as the UK. At the end of the interview the Chief Executive Officer of the German car giants did say he would greatly appreciate anyone buying the luxury manufacturers environmentally friendly offering but he also announced that he felt diesel models would win out in the long run.
The eventual mass introduction of electric vehicles will help benefit the cah for BMW motfailures industry no end, scrapping a vehicle is both environmentally and economically friendly, using firms such as Scrap-Car also gives you reassurance when trying to get cash for scrap cars, and is better in comparison to local councils. Who still charge you to dispose of a vehicle.
Always remember to keep hold of any documentation issued to you when you scrap a vehicle, it allows you to claim back any unused car tax and also is your legal back up should anything go wrong, Scrap-Car does not work with any firm that will not issues these certificates.
