BMW considering launching an EV by 2012
"During a recent interview, BMW chief executive Norbert Reithofer revealed that the German automaker was considering bringing a battery-powered vehicle to the U.S. market by 2012 in an effort to meet more stringent CAFE standards. A final decision will come later in the year, though company officials have disclosed that initial tests have already shown such a move to be technically feasible. In addition to its 7 Series hydrogen vehicles, BMW is planning on expanding its roster of eco-friendly cars by partnering with GM and Mercedes to build hybrid models."
