BMW electric vehicles in India (2026)
BMW has 5 electric cars on sale or confirmed for India, priced from ₹49.90L to ₹205L. This page covers the full line-up with specs, realistic range estimates and where each model fits.
How to read these numbers
Every range figure below is the manufacturer’s claimed number. On Indian roads, with air conditioning running and at highway speeds, real-world range is typically 20–30% lower. Both figures are shown so you can plan around the realistic one rather than the brochure one.
The second number that matters more than most buyers realise is charging time. On any journey longer than the battery, charging speed decides how long the trip takes — not claimed range.

Which BMW EV should you buy?
The honest answer depends on one number: how far you drive on a typical day, not on your longest trip of the year.
Under 40 km a day, the smallest battery in this range is enough. You will charge overnight from a domestic socket and rarely visit a public charger, and you save the difference in purchase price. Between 40 and 100 km a day, look at the middle of the range and pay attention to charging speed rather than claimed range. Above that, or if you drive intercity regularly, prioritise the fastest-charging model BMW offers — a vehicle that recovers most of its range in under 30 minutes is more useful than one with more claimed range that takes an hour.
