I agree hybrids are the answer for much of the population for the foreseeable future, whether by true need, fear, or just preference. Hard to find someone where an I4 hybrid doesn't meet all of their requirements. You go where you want, when you want and you're not worried about the negatives of the EV.

I also think BMW and their "do all" chassis in a premium priced product will be a tough sell. They will never beat the others on price, the brand name will get them somewhere but hard to charge more when the product itself is lacking. I bought my current BMW for the engine/chassis, hard to see myself as a customer in the future. Seems to be extremely simple to get great acceleration from an EV and every engine/lack of transmission also seems to have the same character (smooth and silent). Not sure what their selling points will be.
