This article is for subscribers only.
BMW plans to offer plug-in hybrid versions of all its main models, including the best-selling 3-Series sedan, as the world’s largest maker of luxury vehicles reacts to tighter emissions regulations.
Carmakers are adding electric motors to improve fuel efficiency and make their vehicles viable in cities like London, which has set up a low-emission zone to improve air quality. Plug-in hybrids have batteries that can be recharged from electrical outlets and can drive emission-free for longer distances than conventional hybrids.
