The shift towards electric in London may have officially begun some years ago, but with more clean air initiatives and a growing presence of charging points across the city, not to mention the sharp increase in fuel prices, there has never been a better time to consider an electric car. Offering a low-impact, cost-efficient and future-proof alternative to petrol- or diesel-fuelled vehicles, going electric is one of the smartest and forward-thinking decisions the modern driver can make. And where to find your perfect EV? BMW Park Lane sits at the forefront of this transition with its range of electric cars and hands-on expertise, guiding Londoners into a new era of conscious driving.
Beyond the obvious zero-emission whilst driving credentials, electric vehicles also offer a range of compelling benefits, including the potential for lower running costs and less maintenance. Drivers can also take advantage of incentives such as congestion charge discounts when using autopay. Choose one of BMW’s cutting-edge electric models and enjoy smooth movement, high performance and unrivalled elegance for efficient and practical everyday ease.
With more than 30,000 charging points across Greater London (the highest of any region in the UK, and still growing), ‘fuelling up’ in the capital is far easier and more convenient than you likely think. BMW’s smart technology makes it easy to locate chargepoints on your route through the My BMW App or via the navigation within the vehicle, and with over 24,000 of them located streetside, there are plenty of options for those on-the-go or without a driveway. Of course, charging at home is also available.

* The BMW iX1, iX, iX2, iX3, i4, i5 and i7 is a battery electric vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. Whilst we recommend the battery is charged to 80% to help optimise the health and life of your battery, the electric range figure shown is the WLTP figure after the battery had been fully charged to 100%. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
